How does mitochondrion structure affect its function?

How does mitochondrion's structures affect its function


The mitochondrion has its own DNA transcribes its own DNA has DNA that functions independently of nuclear DNA has DNA that is somewhat different from nuclear DNA all of these?

Yes, mitochondria have dissimilar DNA to nuclear DNA. That is because mitochondria arose endosymbiotically as an invasion of an early eukaryotic (nucleated) cell by a purple bacterium in a relationship which was subsequently symbiotic. Many mitochondrial substances are encoded for by the mitochondrial DNA. Some others important to mitochondrial function are also encoded by nuclear DNA. But yes, the mitochondrion would have to carry out its own transciption to make the products it itself coded for. As the mitochondrion was once an autonomous bacterium (way back in Cambrian or Precambrian times), its genome would be different to the actual genome of the organism's cell (in the nucleus) in which it resides. And thus for the large part it would function utterly independently. But there may be inteferences that evolved over the billions of years since the system's origin. As I said the nucleus itself encodes for at least some products essential to mitochondrial function.


What organelle has different DNA than the rest of the cell?

Mitochondrion


What is common between cell nucleus and mitochondrion?

Both contain DNA


What is DNA in the mitochondria?

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)is DNA found within a sub-cellular organelle called the mitochondrion. Interestingly, mitochondrial DNA is present as a loop, much like the bacterial genome. In addition, mtDNA does not contain any introns or non-coding sequences. mtDNA codes for proteins involved in the process of oxidative phosphorylation

Some organelles have their own DNA that is distinct from the cell's nuclear DNA. this is of which organelle?

Mitochondrion


Does the mitochondrion have DNA that is somewhat different form nuclear DNA?

If you are refering to the mitochondria/mitochondrion then no because the mitochondria is used in our cells while nuclear DNA are used for things like making bombs i would assume.


What organelles are in a kidney cell?

Nucleus, DNA, mitochondrion, and more


What organelle has different DNA than the rest of the cell?

Mitochondrion


Can mitochondrion produce nucleic acids?

Yes, they do replicate their own mitochondrial DNA or mt DNA


What is a single loop of DNA found in bacteria?

A single loop of DNA found in bacteria is called a bacterial chromosome. It contains the genetic information necessary for the bacteria to function and reproduce. This circular DNA molecule is located in the nucleoid region of the bacterial cell.
