Question

1) ASSERTION: The inner mitochondrial membrane is highly folded REASON: To increase the surface area for ATP synthesis. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation for A (b) Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation for A (c) A is true but R is false d) A is false but R is true

Answer 1

Answer:

both are correct

thanks for asking

Answer 2

Answer: Option A)  Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation for A .

Explanation:

About Mitochondria:

• Mitichondria is a cell organelle where energy production occurs,
• Mitochondria is also known as the 'powerhouse of the cell'.
• Mitochondria possess a double membrane:

1. Outer smooth membrane.
2. Inner Highly folded membrane.

The inner membrane of mitochondria:

• Inner membrane of mitochondria has a large number of infoldings.
• These infold are known as cristae.
• The infoldings increase the surface area of the mitochondria.
• Larger surface area helps in more synthesis of ATP.
