Question

Name two cell organelles that are double membrane-bound


Open in App
Solution

Chloroplast

  1. A chloroplast is a kind of organelle found in the cells of plants and algae that are responsible for photosynthesis, or the conversion of solar energy into chemical energy for growth.
  2. They're in charge of photosynthesis, which is the process of converting light energy into sugar and other organic compounds that plants and algae utilize as sustenance.
  3. They also create amino acids and lipid components that are required for the development of chloroplast membranes.
  4. Chloroplasts are oval in form and have two membranes, one on the outside and one on the inside.
  5. The intermembrane gap between the outer and inner membranes is around 10-20 nm broad.
  6. The stroma, or thick fluid within the chloroplast, is the region within the inner membrane.

Mitochondria

  1. Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles that generate the bulk of chemical energy for the cell's metabolic operations.
  2. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a small molecule that holds the chemical energy that mitochondria produce (ATP).
  3. Mitochondria are cellular structures that convert dietary energy into usable energy for cells.
  4. Hundreds to thousands of mitochondria can be discovered in the fluid around each cell's nucleus (the cytoplasm).
  5. The structure is made up of an exterior membrane, an inner membrane, and a gel-like material called the matrix.
  6. The outer and inner membranes, which are made up of proteins and phospholipid layers, are separated by the intermembrane gap.
