Yes, mitochondria and chloroplasts contain 70S ribosomes and circular DNA, but we
aren’t comparing mitochondria or chloroplasts vs prokaryotes

Organelle function
• Cell surface membrane: partial permeable
membrane surrounding ALL CELL (pro&eu)
• Cytoplasm: aqueous fluid of ALL CELLS
(pro&eu)
• Mitochondria: carries out aerobic
respiration to generate ATP (eu only)
• Centriole: microtubule organizing center
(animals only)
• Cell wall: maintains cellular rigidity (ALL
pro, ALL plants)
• Vacuole: stores water and ions, maintains
plant cell rigidity
• Tonoplast: membrane surrounding central
vacuole (plant only)
Organelle function- EU only
• Nucleus: contains DNA that regulates cell
functions
• Nucleolus: produces rRNA to assemble
ribosomes
• Nuclear envelope: double membrane that
surrounds nucleus
• Ribosomes (80S- EU, 70S-PRO): site of protein
synthesis
• Smooth ER: lipid (including steroid,
hormones)synthesis
• Rough ER: contains ribosomes, protein
synthesis
• Golgi apparatus: modification and packaging of
cellular products (esp. proteins)
• Golgi vesicles: transport products of Golgi (in
and out of cell)
• Lysosomes: metabolize (break down) old
organelles, cells, bacteria and viruses
• Using a stage micrometer scale, one unit of an
eyepiece graticule was calculated as 0.005 mm. The
diameter of a spongy mesophyll cell was counted as
3.5 units on the eyepiece graticule. What is the
estimate of the diameter of the cell?

• The diagram shows a stage micrometer viewed with an
eyepiece graticule scale, using a magnification of ×400.
• Using the same magnification, a chloroplast is
measured and found to be 4 eyepiece graticule
divisions long. How long (in µm)is the chloroplast?
• What would be the observed size (in mm)of the
chloroplast?
