What is the purpose of the inner mitochondrial membranes being five times the area of the outer mitochondrial membranes and 17 times that of the cells plasma membrane?
It increases the surface for oxidative phosphorylation
Is mitochondria have 2 membranes?
yes, inner and outer membranes
What are the flattened membranes I am chloroplasts called?
There are two membranes. Those are outer and inner membranes.
What is the difference between the two membranes of the mitochondria?
Inner membranes have folds.Outer membrane do not have
In liver cells the inner motochodrial membranes are about 5x the area of the outer mitochondrial membranes and about 17x that of the cell's plasma membrane what purpose must this serve?
It increases the surface for oxidative phosphoryation.
Does the stroma separate the inner and outer membranes of the mitochondria?
No, the stroma is found in chloroplasts, not mitochondria. In mitochondria, the inner and outer membranes are separated by the intermembrane space.
What are the folded inner membranes inside mitochondria?
The inner membrane folds in a mitochondrion are called cristae.
What are the inner most membranes that cover the lungs?
They are called the pleura.
How many membranes does chloroplast have?
its 3 and they are; inner,outer, and thylakoid
Where do the amniotic membranes come from?
Human amniotic membranes come from the fetal membranes which consist of the inner amniotic membrane made of single layer of amnion cells
What are the folded inner membranes inside mitochondria are called?
The inner membrane folds in a mitochondrion are called cristae.
Structure of a mitochondria?
A mitochondrion contains outer and inner membranes composed of phospholipid bilayers and proteins. The two membranes, however, have different properties. Because of this double-membraned organization, there are five distinct compartments within the mitochondrion. There is the outer mitochondrial membrane, the intermembrane space (the space between the outer and inner membranes), the inner mitochondrial membrane, the cristae space (formed by infoldings of the inner membrane), and the matrix (space within the inner membrane).
