The Nature of Mito

Mitochondria have a double membrane, an inner membrane, and an outer membrane

The inner membrane is folded into a series of structures called cristae

The space between the inner and outer membranes is called the intermembrane space

The core of mitochondria is a gel-like structure called the matrix

Mitochondria produce energy

They also store calcium, generate heat, and help regulate cell growth and death

Mitochondria are considered the final executioners of programmed cell death

Mitochondria can divide independently through a process called fission

The Nature of Endo

The ER is a continuous membrane system that includes the nuclear envelope

The ER is made up of flattened sacs and branching tubules that interconnect to form a netlike labyrinth

The ER lumen is the internal space enclosed by the ER membrane

The ER synthesizes proteins and lipids

The ER interacts with other organelles

The ER produces proteins for the rest of the cell to function

The ER produces substances needed by the cell

The ER metabolizes lipids, phospholipids, and steroids

The ER detoxifies natural metabolism products and of alcohol and drugs

The ER attaches receptors on cell membrane proteins

The rough ER has ribosomes embedded within its structure, giving it a “rough” appearance

The smooth ER does not have ribosomes, hence appearing “smooth”
