eukaryotic
What are the structures in cells that release energy from glucose for use in cell processess?
Mitochondria are the structures in cells responsible for releasing energy from glucose through a process called cellular respiration. Within the mitochondria, the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain work together to convert glucose into ATP, the cell's main energy source.
What best describes the difference between photosynthesis in the chloroplast and cellular respiration in the mitochondiria?
Photosynthesis in the chloroplast is a process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration in the mitochondria is a process by which cells break down glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP, with oxygen being used as a final electron acceptor. Essentially, photosynthesis stores energy while cellular respiration releases energy.
Four types of membranes and their locations?
The four types of membranes are: 1) cutaneous membranes; 2) serous membranes; 3) mucous membranes; and 4) synovial membranes. Mucous membranes are tissues that line body cavities or canals such as the throat, nose, mouth, urethra, rectum, and vagina. Serous membranes line body cavities (peritoneum) and surround organs such as the lung (pleura) and heart (pericardium). The cutaneous membrane is the skin. This membrane is composed of a layer of epithelium over a layer of connective tissue. Synovial membrane is a layer of connective tissue that lines the cavities of joints, tendon sheaths, and bursae (fluid sacs) and makes synovial fluid, which has a lubricating function.
