Hi everyone!
Let’s learn a bit about the fascinating connection between the chloroplast and the mitochondrion.
Chloroplasts and mitochondria are deeply connected through a continuous cycle of energy and matter within the cell. Chloroplasts capture sunlight to build energy-rich sugars and release oxygen. Mitochondria then consume that very oxygen to break down the sugars, releasing the stored energy in a form the cell can use (ATP) and producing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts. This elegant partnership means the output of one organelle is the essential input for the other. Their connection is also historical, explained by the endosymbiotic theory. Both organelles are descended from free-living bacteria that were engulfed by a larger host cell billions of years ago. This shared origin explains why they still have their own DNA, double membranes, and replicate independently within our cell. They were once separate organisms that became permanent, cooperative residents.
Hai semua! Kami daripada kumpulan HERCULES & ANTHRACNOSE dan ini ialah model biologi kami yang menunjukkan bagaimana tumbuhan bertukar daripada “kena cahaya matahari” kepada “ada tenaga hidup”
Di bahagian kiri, kita ada kloroplas — tempat tumbuhan buat kerja “chef”. Dengan bantuan cahaya matahari, kloroplas memasak air + karbon dioksida untuk menghasilkan glukosa (makanan) dan oksigen. Makanan ini tak terus bagi tenaga ya. Ia dihantar ke mitokondrion di bahagian bawah model. Mitokondrion ni ibarat powerbank sel.
Di sinilah glukosa dan oksigen ditukar kepada ATP, iaitu tenaga yang digunakan oleh sel untuk bergerak, membesar dan terus hidup.
Anak panah dalam model ini menunjukkan perjalanan makanan dan tenaga — dari kloroplas ke mitokondrion. Pendek kata, tanpa kloroplas, mitokondrion tak boleh kerja, dan tanpa mitokondrion, tenaga pun tak jadi
Melalui model ini, kami harap pembelajaran biologi jadi lebih menyeronokkan, kreatif dan senang difahami. Terima kasih kerana menonton dan jangan lupa — sel pun perlukan tenaga!
