How does the arrangement of the cristae in the inner membrane of the mitochondria affect the rate of aerobic respiration?

The rate of aerobic respiration in the mitochondria is dependent on the surface area of the cristae because energy potential is built up through the pumping of hydrogen ions across the membrane. With more membrane surface area, there is more energy production and storage capacity so the rate of aerobic respiration may increase.

The mitochondria is the site of?
The mitochondria are where respiration takes place. The chloroplasts are where photosynthesis takes place.
The mitochondria are?
are oval, membrane-covered organelles
Where in eukaryotic cells does aerobic respiration occur?
In eukaryotic cells respiration occurs in the mitochondria. The reactions of the Krebs cycle occur within the liquid matrix of a mitochondrion. The carrier molecules of the electron transport chain lie on the inside of the inner membrane of a mitochondrion. Cristae increase the surface area of this membrane, increasing the rate of oxidation-reduction reactions. Hope this answers your question.
Where does the aerobic respiration take place at?
mitochondria
What organelle is responsible for conserving ATP in aerobic respiration?
In all cells, there are membrane enclosed organelles called Mitochondria, which produce ATP and glucose.
The mitochondria is the site of?
The mitochondria are where respiration takes place. The chloroplasts are where photosynthesis takes place.
Where does cellular respiration ends?
Aerobic respiration ends in mitochondria. Anaerobic in the cytoplasm
Why RBC are not able to carry out aerobic respiration?
Because RBCs have no mitochondria, and mitochondria is necessary for aerobic respiration.
The mitochondria are?
are oval, membrane-covered organelles
What is the site of aerobic cellular respiration?
The site of aerobic respiration is in the mitochondria of the cell. The three stages of aerobic respiration are glycolysis, kerb Cycle, and electron transport chain.
In which organelle does aerobic cellular respiration occur?
Aerobic cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of the cell. This process involves breaking down glucose to produce ATP, which is the main energy source for the cell.
What does a mitochondria do in a eukaryotic?
The mitochondria make ATP by aerobic respiration.
Aerobic respiration occurs in of eukaryotic cells?
mitochondria
Where in eukaryotic cells does aerobic respiration occur?
In eukaryotic cells respiration occurs in the mitochondria. The reactions of the Krebs cycle occur within the liquid matrix of a mitochondrion. The carrier molecules of the electron transport chain lie on the inside of the inner membrane of a mitochondrion. Cristae increase the surface area of this membrane, increasing the rate of oxidation-reduction reactions. Hope this answers your question.
Where does the most reactions of aerobic cellular respiration occur?
Glycolysis, the first stage of aerobic respiration, occurs in a cell's cytoplasm. The second stage (acetyl-CoA formation and the Krebs cycle) and the third stage (electron transfer phosphorylation) occur inside a cell's mitochondria. They occur at the inner mitochondrial membrane, which is highly folded. Therefore, most of the reactions of aerobic cellular respiration occur inside the mitochondria of a cell.
Does the aerobic respiration take place in the cytoplasm?
No, aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria. The mitochondria uses oxygen to produce energy for the cell.
Which organelles are responsible for performing aerobic respiration?
Mitochondria are the organelles responsible for performing aerobic respiration.
