A mitochondrion has two membranes.
Mitochondria contain inner membranes called cristae, which are responsible for generating ATP through the process of oxidative phosphorylation.
Mitochondria have two [bi-lipid layer] membranes: a smooth and slightly elastic outer membrane and an inner membrane that has [surface area increasing] inward folds called cristae. Inside the inner compartment is the 'matrix', which is a gel-like phase that contains about 50% protein.
The folded inner membranes inside mitochondria are called cristae. These structures increase the surface area available for chemical reactions that produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell's main energy source.
The mitochondria have two membranes. This is the site of cellular respiration - or energy production. This involves the conversion of glucose into ATP.
H+ ions would flow out of the mitochondrion.
Mitochondria contain inner membranes called cristae, which are responsible for generating ATP through the process of oxidative phosphorylation.
The inner membrane folds in a mitochondrion are called cristae.
Mitochondrion (plural mitochondria)
animals-cell membranes, cytoskeletons, nucleus, ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondrion, vesicles and the golgi complex plants-cell walls, cell membranes, cytoskeletons, nucleus, ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondrion, vesicles, the golgi complex, and chloroplasts
Mitochondria (singular: mitochondrion) have two membranes, with an intermembrane space between them. The inner membrane is folded to form cristae. The space inside the mitochondria is known as the matrix and is where the reactions happen to make ATP.
Endosymbiotic theory explains the formation of organelles surrounded by two membranes. This theory suggests that eukaryotic organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts originated from symbiotic prokaryotic cells that were engulfed by a host cell, leading to a mutually beneficial relationship.
The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. It has two membranes. The outer membrane covers the organelle and contains it. The inner membrane folds over many times. This folding increases the surface are inside the organelle.
A mitochondrion is a bean-shaped organelle in cells that has inner membranes where chemical reactions involved in energy production (ATP synthesis) take place.
two
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).
no it does not have a mitochondrion
A mitochondrion consists of outer and inner membranes, an intermembrane space (space in between the membranes), the cristae (infoldings of the inner membrane), and the matrix (space within the inner membrane). The outer membrane contains several porins that form channels. This also contains its' own DNA.
