Question

What are the properties of mitochondrion?

Answer 1

1.chief source of the energy of the cell
2.responsible for respiration n catabolism
3.known as power house of the cell

Answer 2

Answer:

Mitochondrion:-

1. It's known as power house of the cell.
2. It's double membrane bound organelle
3. They are involved in aerobic respiration and synthesis of ATP.

━━━━━━━━━━━

Occurrence-

• It's found in all eukaryotic cells which perform aerobic respiration.
• They are absent in Red blood cells.
• They are present in green plants.

━━━━━━━━━━━━

Shape:

• They are spherical or club shaped or rod shaped or filamentous.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Structure:

• Each mitochondrion is bounded by two membranes.
• The outer membrane is smooth and permeable.
• The inner membrane is selectively permeable.
• The space between the two membrane is called intermembrane space.
• The space enclosed by inner membrane is matrix space.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Functions:

• They synthesis fatty acid.
• They also synthesize amino acid.
• They are involved with aerobic respiration.
• They are involved in thermogenesis
