Mitochondrion and Chloroplast










this is a Photo of the mitochondria this is the power house of the cell it creates energy


this is a Photo of the chloroplast this is the part of the cell that creates the glucose



The Mitochondrion and

Chloroplast

These two organelles are found in many different cells. But chloroplast is only found in photosynthesis. The chloroplast is the reason plants are called self feeders, because they feed and create glucose.


The mitochondrion feeds from the glucose and creates energy called ATP. These organelles use each other in efficient ways to survive and create energy.

This is one of the most efficient combinations of organelles found because they only use as much energy as needed and still uses enough energy that it is high power.

Cells

Before microscopes were invented disease was caused by spirits. When they were finally invented it brought a whole new world to the people. it allowed them to see living organisms. There was a man named Anton Van Leewenhook, he was the first man to look at water under a microscope. There are many different microscopes one was a compound scope, it used many lenses to magnify up to 1500 times. All organisms are made of one or more cells. the first electronic microscope was invented in the 1940s. later on there came many more microscopes and that was a great thing for the studies of cells and organisms, some of these scopes were able to magnify up to 500 000 times.
