Answer:
Mitochondria Structure
They are made of two membranes. The outer membrane covers the organelle and contains it like a skin. The inner membrane folds over many times and creates layered structures called cristae. The fluid contained in the mitochondria is called the matrix.
Answer:
Hello buddy good morning and have a great day of yours.........
Explanation:
Mitochondria are cell organelles with a typical size of 0.75-3 micrometers. They are found in most mammalian cells.
In this article we will look at the function and structure of Mitochrondria.
Mitochondria have a double membrane and corresponding intermembrane space. The space inside the organelle is the matrix.
The inner membrane is arranged in cristae in order to increase the surface area available for energy production via the electron transport chain and F1-F0 ATP-ase in a process known as oxidative phosphorylation. The outer membrane contains porins which allow movement of ions into and out of the mitochondrion.
The matrix contains free DNA and free ribosomes which help to synthesise some lipids and proteins. The matrix also contains enzymes required for the TCA (Kreb’s) cycle.
