Mitochondria
Organelles such as the mitochondria and the chloroplasts replicated in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. This is so that when the cell divides, no parts are lost.
Cells have a cell membrane that separates internal and external environments and contains cellular organelles. They also have the ability to self-replicate through cell division and contain genetic material in the form of DNA responsible for directing cellular functions.
Mitochondria replicate independently through a process similar to binary fission, similar to bacterial division, due to their own circular DNA. In contrast, organelles without their own DNA, like the endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi apparatus, rely on the cell's overall growth and division processes for replication. While mitochondria can self-replicate in response to cellular energy demands, other organelles are synthesized and assembled through the cell's machinery, demonstrating distinct mechanisms of replication and regulation.
Mitochondria are the organelles where cellular respiration occurs.
No, archaea do not possess organelles within their cellular structure.
Interphase
Host.
Mitochondria are the cellular organelles that perform cellular respiration to produce energy in the form of ATP for the cell.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts possess small ribosomes and circular DNA. These organelles are believed to have originated from bacterial ancestors that were engulfed by early eukaryotic cells through endosymbiosis.
Yes, plasmids can self-replicate within a bacterial cell.
Viruses are acellular particles that require a host cell to replicate, while cellular organisms are standalone living entities. Viruses lack organelles and cannot carry out metabolic processes independently. Cellular organisms, on the other hand, have a defined cell structure with organelles and can carry out all life processes independently.
Yes, cellular metabolism can occur within organelles. For example, cellular respiration takes place in the mitochondria, while photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts. Organelles provide specific environments for metabolic reactions to take place efficiently.
