Mitochondria: a spherical or rod-shaped organelle found within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. It acts as the ~powerhouse of the cell~Â as it generates most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through the process of cellular respiration.

Most of our bodies enzymes are produced where?
The enzyme's surface folds are complementary to the substrate's surface folds.
Why does the mitochondria have folds?
Generating ATP is efficient whe surface area is high.Inner folds increase the surface area.
The folds of the inner sac provide what?
Folds increase surface area and therefore a greater surface area for gas exchange
What organism has mitochondria with disc shaped cristae?
euglenozoa have disk shaped folds in the mitochondria (cristae)
Why is the inside of the mitochondria have folds?
Folds increase surface area.So it increase the rate of respiration.
What causes enzyme specificity?
The enzyme's surface folds are complementary to the substrate's surface folds.
What function affects the efficiency of food absorption by folds of grasshopper and earthworm digestive tube?
The digestive tube structure in both earthworms and grasshoppers consists of several folds. These folds affect the efficiency of food absorption by increasing the surface area.
Most of our bodies enzymes are produced where?
The enzyme's surface folds are complementary to the substrate's surface folds.
What are folds of the cell membrane on the free surface?
The folds of the cell membrane on the free surface are known as microvilli. These folds will help in increasing the surface area of the cell membrane.
How does the structure affect its function?
The mitochondrial structure affects its function because in its inner membrane, the cristae (folds) allow for more surface area which increases the amount of ATP that can be produced by the mitochondria.
How does the mitochondrion affects it structure?
The mitochondrial structure affects its function because in its inner membrane, the cristae (folds) allow for more surface area which increases the amount of ATP that can be produced by the mitochondria.
Why does the mitochondria have folds?
Generating ATP is efficient whe surface area is high.Inner folds increase the surface area.
The folds of the inner sac provide what?
Folds increase surface area and therefore a greater surface area for gas exchange
What organism has mitochondria with disc shaped cristae?
euglenozoa have disk shaped folds in the mitochondria (cristae)
What do you call the folds that can be found in the brain?
The folds on the surface of the brain are called gyri.
The folds of the mucosa on the internal surface of the stomach are called?
They are called gastric folds.
Why are the folds of the mitochondria important?
the folds of the mitochondria are important to store proteins
