Question

explain the structure of imtocondrea

Answer 1

imtocondrea :~ Mitochondria

Structure of Mitochondria

Mitochondria have two membranes, an outer membrane and an inner membrane. These membranes are made of phospholipid layers, just like the cell’s outer membrane. The outer membrane covers the surface of the mitochondrion, while the inner membrane is located within and has many folds called cristae. The folds increase surface area of the membrane, which is important because the inner membrane holds the proteins involved in the electron transport chain. It is also where many other chemical reactions take place to carry out the mitochondria’s many functions. An increased surface area creates more space for more reactions to occur, and increases the mitochondria’s output. The space between the outer and inner membranes is called the intermembrane space, and the space inside the inner membrane is called the matrix.

Answer 2

Just adding onto the previous answer
The Cristae also hold elementary particles where cellular respiration takes place
The matrix of the mitochondria contains its DNA, Ribosomes, enzymes etc
