Question

13. Identify the wrong statement about mitochondrion.
A) It is cylindrical in shape.
B) Generally it is about 2-8 micron long and 0.1 micron wide.
C) It is responsible for cellular respiration.
D) It is called power house of the cell.​

Answer 1

Answer:

B) Generally it is about 2-8 micron long and 0.1 micron wide.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option (B) Generally it is about 2-8 microns long and 0.1 micron wide is the wrong statement.

Explanation:

Mitochondria exist as membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy required to power the cell's biochemical reactions. Chemical energy created by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule named adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

The classic function of mitochondria exists in oxidative phosphorylation, which generates ATP by utilizing the energy released during the oxidation of the food we eat. ATP is utilized in turn as the prior energy source for most biochemical and physiological processes, such as growth, movement, and homeostasis.

• Mitochondria exist small, spherical, or cylindrical.
• They exist 2-8 microns long and about 0.5 microns wide.
• It is about 150 times less than the nucleus.
• 100-150 exist present in each cell.
• They are created of a double-membrane
• The inner membrane of the wall protrudes into the interior in folds and forms cristae.
• The space between cristae exists known as the matrix.
• They are responsible for cellular respiration. Energy is generated and stored in mitochondria.
• Hence they exist also named a cell's powerhouse.

Hence. Option (B) Generally it is about 2-8 microns long and 0.1 micron wide is the wrong statement.
