What is the function of the sperm cells mitochondrial spiral?
Producing energy APEX
Explain two ways mitochondria may be involved with aging?
Aging has been linked to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage in two ways. Mitochondrial DNA provides energy to the cells, when it gets damaged, it will not provide the energy that is needed to function properly, and then the host will get sick. Damaged mitochondrial DNA also plays a role in genetic diseases, it is similar to damaged mitochondrial DNA seen in older humans, but only the damage presents itself much sooner.
What is the middle of the mitochondrion called?
mitochondrial matrix
How much mitochondrial DNA do humans inherit from their fathers?
None, mitochondrial DNA is inherited from the mother.
What are mitochondrial myopathies?
a group of neuromuscular disorders that result from defects in the function of the mitochondrion, a small organelle located inside many cells that are responsible for fulfilling energy requirements of the tissue
What is the function of the sperm cells mitochondrial spiral?
Producing energy APEX
How does cyanide inhibit mitochondrial function?
ATP decreases
What is melas in medical terms and how dangerous is it?
The medical abbreviation MELAS stands for mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes. It is a life-limiting condition that's due to abnormalities in mitochondrial function.
Where are the enzymes of the Krebs cycle located?
Matrix of the mitochondria
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.

What does mitochondrial DNA code for?
Mitochondrial DNA codes for 13 mitochondrial proteins, 16S and 12S rRNA and 22 tRNAs
In the presence of a metabolic poison that specifically and completely inhibits the function of mitochondrial ATP synthase what would you expect A. a decrease in the pH difference ac?
the answer is B.
When was Mitochondrial DNA - journal - created?
Mitochondrial DNA - journal - was created in 1980.
When was Mitochondrial Blues created?
Mitochondrial Blues was created on 2004-07-27.
Who shares your mitochondrial DNA?
Mitochondrial DNA comes from the mother, so the mother's maternal line and all her children share the same mitochondrial DNA.
What is the middle of the mitochondrion called?
mitochondrial matrix
