Which cell populations would be most affected by mitochondrial cytopathies?
Cells with high energy demands such as muscle cells, nerve cells, and cells in the heart would be most affected by mitochondrial cytopathies, as they rely heavily on mitochondrial function to generate energy in the form of ATP. Dysfunction in mitochondria would lead to impaired energy production, causing symptoms related to these tissues.
Which organelles are responsible for making most of the cells ATP?
the Mitochondrial.
Which cell organelles are responsible for making the cells ATP?
the Mitochondrial.
What has the author Roberto Scatena written?
Roberto Scatena has written: 'Advances in mitochondrial medicine' -- subject(s): Mitochondrial pathology, Mitochondrial Diseases, Effect of drugs on, Cells, Mitochondria, Physiology
What do you think researchers discovered in the mitochondrial DNA taken from the heart cells of older adults?
Researchers discovered that the mitochondrial DNA taken from heart cells of older adults showed more mutations and damage compared to younger individuals. This suggests that mitochondrial function deteriorates with age, which may contribute to age-related heart conditions.
Where does the electron transport occur in eukaryotes cells?
Inner mitochondrial membrane
Name some associated genes of human mitochondrial genome?
Some associated genes of human mitochondrial genome are the Eukaryotic cells and the cell nucleus. Mitochondrial DNA is inherited only from the mother's ovum.
What takes place within mitochondrial membrane?
ATP is produced for use by cells
What takes place within the mitochondrial membrane?
ATP is produced for use by cells
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
Which cells use oxidative phosphorylization?
Cells with mitochondria carry out oxidative phosphorylation. Oxidative phosphorylation involves the transfer of electrons in mitochondrial protein complexes that serve as electron donors and electron acceptors. The process yields molecular oxygen and energy in form of adenosine triphosphate.
Mutations in mitochondrial genes often cause disorders that affect cells?
Mitochondrial gene mutations can disrupt the energy production process in cells, leading to various disorders. These disorders can affect tissues with high energy demands, such as the brain, muscles, and heart. Symptoms can vary widely depending on which cells are impacted and the severity of the mutation.
