1. Mitochondrial and Plastids Britney Monteon, Abigail Zellman, Kirja Faber, and Mikaela Shepard

2. Powering the Cell ● Plastid ● Mitochondria ● ATP

3. Mitochondrial DNA ● Oxidative Phosphorylation, metabolic pathway to produce Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) ● Transfer RNA (tRNA) and Ribosomal RNA (rRNA) ● Genetic disorders: Cancer, Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, Nonsyndromic deafness

4. Energy Capture and Storage ● Captures energy through Photosynthesis ● Stores energy in fats and proteins in cytoplasm

5. Cellular Respiration ●Oxidizing glucose to water and carbon dioxide ●C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 + 6H 2 O 12H 2 O + 6 CO 2 + ATP ●Two Phases: Glycolysis and Oxidation

6. Photosynthesis ●Converts light energy to sugars (glucose) ●6CO 2 + 6H 2 O + Light Energy C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 ●Light is necessary
