What form is energy stored in Mitochondria?
ATP
What is Mitochondria's enzymes responsible for?
Aerobic Respiration
Golgi Apparatus
An organelle in eukaryotic cells consisting of stacks of membranous sacs that modify, store, and ship products of the ER
What does chroloplast convert light energy into?
Carbohydrates
What are the folded stack called in Golgi Apparatus?
Cisternae
What are the functions of Golgi Apparatus?
1- Modifies molecules that were made in other places 2- Manufactures some polysacc. and lipids 3- Packages and ships molecules
What do TAY-SACHS disease results in?
Degeneration & Death
Functions of Lysosomes
Digestion of food taken into the cell. Destruction of disease-causing organisms and old organelles
Where do the unprocessed protein enter the Golgi Apparatus from?
ER
What happens to the protein in Golgi Apparatus?
Packaged and Exported near membrane.
Lysosomes
Vesicles containing enzymes that digest macromolecules
What is TAY-SACHS disease?
missing an enzyme of the lysosomes that breaks down a fatty substance. Over time this fat builds up in the brain and nervous tissue, smothering the cells
