What is the membrane system found within chloroplasts that contains the compounds for photosynthesis?

thylakoid


Is the outer membrane continuous with the thylakoid membrane?

No, the outer membrane of a chloroplast is not continuous with the thylakoid membrane. The outer membrane surrounds the entire chloroplast, while the thylakoid membrane is an internal membrane system within the chloroplast that contains the pigments and protein complexes necessary for photosynthesis.

The granules of the inner membrane of the mitochondrion are believed to be the site of chemical reactions that produce?

The granules of the inner membrane of the mitochondrion are believed to be the site of chemical reactions that produce the electron transport system that generates a proton gradient. Also site of the ATPase complex which uses the proton gradient to produce ATP.


What system is the nucleus in?

The nucleus is a membrane-bound organelle within eukaryotic cells. It is part of the cell's endomembrane system and contains the cell's genetic material, including the DNA.


What Endomembrane system contains organelles except?

The endomembrane system includes various organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, vesicles, and the plasma membrane. However, it does not include mitochondria and chloroplasts, as these organelles are not part of the endomembrane system and have their own distinct membranes and functions. Additionally, the nucleus is often considered separate from the endomembrane system despite its membrane structure.

The movement of positively charged ions across the membrane of a neuron can produce what?

The movement of positively charged ions across the membrane of a neuron can produce an action potential, which is a brief electrical impulse that allows for the transmission of signals along the neuron. This process is essential for nerve communication and information processing in the nervous system.


Does endoplasmic reticulum contain a membrane?

The endoplasmic recticulum (ER) is located inside the cell, so it would be enclosed within the cell membrane. It contains a system of interconnected channels called cisternae enclosed by the unit membrane. ER is continuous with the outer membrane of the nuclear envelope and therefore is a membranous organelle.
