Are mitochondria single membrane structures involved in the breakdown of ATP?
No, they have an inner and and outer membrane.
Has an outer membrane and an inner one which is folded to form cristae?
mitochondrion
Where does the electron transport chain take place in an animal cell?
For Eukaryotes the electron transport chain occurs in the Inner Membrane of a mitochondria. (mitochondria has 2 membranes both outer and inner) For Prokaryotes, it occurs in the plasma membrane as prokaryotes do not have mitochondria.
What are the parts of a mitochondrion?
A mitochondrion consists of a:smooth outer membranecristae (inner membrane arranged as a series of folds)matrix (centre)ribosomes for protein synthesis
Is mitochondria surrounded by the double membrane?
Mitochondria have an inner membrane which is highly convoluted (called cristae and is known to increase the surface area of this organelle, therefore providing more space for ATP (energy) production). This inner membrane contains pores that enable substances to pass through them, almost serving like a shortcut so that these molecules don't have to make their way around the 'maze' (the cristae). Mitochondria also have an outer membrane.
Are mitochondria single membrane structures involved in the breakdown of ATP?
No, they have an inner and and outer membrane.
What organelle has both inner and outer membrane?
Both mitochondria and chloroplasts
Describe the outer covering of the mitochondria?
two outer covering membranes and a third inner thylakoid membrane
Why does the mitochondriahave both an outer and inner membrane?
yes,mitochondria are double membranous.
Has an outer membrane and an inner one which is folded to form cristae?
mitochondrion
What is a Rod-shaped organelle located in the cytoplasm has smooth outer membrane and a greatly folded inner membrane?
It is mitochondria.
What does the outer membrane do?
It is made of phospholipids just as the cell membrane is. There are some differences in the type of proteins embedded in each membrane. Mitochondria have their own DNA and are thought to be another organism that became taken up by a larger cell. Both have benefitted by the relationship.
What membrane do pyruvic acid molecules pass through?
the inner/outer membranes of mitochondria
Where does the electron transport chain take place in an animal cell?
For Eukaryotes the electron transport chain occurs in the Inner Membrane of a mitochondria. (mitochondria has 2 membranes both outer and inner) For Prokaryotes, it occurs in the plasma membrane as prokaryotes do not have mitochondria.
What are rod-shaped organelles located in the cytoplasm called that have a smooth outer membrane and a gently folded inner membrane called?
It is the mitochondria
What is the structures and functions of mitochondria?
mitochondria is an endo-membrane organelle. it consists of an inner &outer membrane. it also contains an inter mitochondrial space. it is the power house of the cell where the photosynthesis takes place.
What contains a smooth outer and folded inner membrane in a cell?
The mitochondria are surrounded by two membranes, the outer is smooth & the inner is folded into critae which increase the surface area. :)
