2 organelles that contain thereown genetic material?
Chloroplasts in plant cells and mitochondria in animal cells contain their own mitochondria
Do Muscle cells contain more mitochondria then chloroplasts?
Yes, muscle cells contain more mitochondria than chloroplasts. Mitochondria are essential for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration, which is crucial for muscle contraction and endurance. In contrast, chloroplasts are found in plant cells and are involved in photosynthesis, not in muscle cells. Therefore, muscle cells have a high density of mitochondria to meet their energy demands, while they do not contain chloroplasts.
What type of cell contains mitochondria and chloroplasts?
Plant cells and eukaryotic algae that conduct photosynthesis are the two types of cells that contain choloplasts.
What organelles are associated with ednosymbiont theory?
The endosymbiont theory is associated with mitochondria and chloroplasts. It proposes that these organelles originated from primitive prokaryotic cells that were engulfed by ancestral eukaryotic cells and formed a symbiotic relationship.
What organelles are involved in energy transformation in the cells?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are involved in energy tranformation. animal cells: mitochondria plant cells: mitochondria and chloroplasts
What do mitochondria and chloroplasts do for a cell?
mitochondria provide power for cells chloroplasts provide food for cells by photosynthesis
What structures can be found in the plant cell but not in the animal cell is it chloroplasts mitochondria ribosomes or vacuoles?
Chloroplasts can be found in plant cells but not in animal cells. Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis and contain chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color. Mitochondria, ribosomes, and vacuoles can be found in both plant and animal cells.
Do muscle cells have chloroplast?
No, muscle cells do not have chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are found in plant cells and some protists, where they are responsible for photosynthesis. Muscle cells generate energy through other organelles, such as mitochondria.
Why do animal cells not have chloraplast?
Chloroplasts (as well as Mitochondria) are endosymbionts. This means that they are cells, living within another cell. Historically, eukaryotic cells had no mitochondria or chloroplasts (and mitochondria and chloroplasts existed by themselves outside of cells). The current hypothesis is that a cell tried to engulf a mitochondria (by phagocytosis) but failed in digesting it. Over time, some of the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) became part of the host cell's genome. This cell is a common ancestor to both plants and animals, which is why both have mitochondria. A cell with mitochondria then did the same thing with chloroplasts, absorbing one, and taking some of its ctDNA etc. Because not all cells that had mitochondria absorbed chloroplasts there were cells with mitochondria only, and cells with mitochondria and chloroplasts. The ones with chloroplasts evolved to become plant cells, and those without evolved to become animal cells.
What organelle is responsible for converting food into energy?
Mitochondria and Chloroplasts are involved in energy conversion.
Which cells contain this organelle plant cell animal cell or both?
Both plant and animal cells contain mitochondria, which are the organelles responsible for energy production through cellular respiration. However, only plant cells possess chloroplasts, which are involved in photosynthesis. Therefore, while mitochondria are present in both cell types, chloroplasts are exclusive to plant cells.
Do animal cells contain chloroplasts?
No, animal cells do not contain chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are found in plant cells and are responsible for photosynthesis.
