Best Answer

The similarities in appearance between these structures are pretty clear. The mitochondrion is a double-membrane organelle, with a smooth outer membrane and an inner membrane which protrudes into the interior of the mitochondrion in folds called cristae. This membrane is very similar in appearance to the prokaryotic plasma membrane with its mesosomes.

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.

Are bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis similar?

No, bacterial vaginosis can't turn into trichomoniasis. They have different causes. However, they often go together. It's not unusual for someone to be diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis, which is relatively easy to diagnose, and later find out she also has trichomoniasis, which is harder to diagnose.
