What contains a smooth outer and folded inner membrane in a cell?
The organelle that contains a smooth outer membrane and a folded inner membrane in a cell is the mitochondrion. Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through a process called cellular respiration.
Is the mitochondrion surrounded by a membrane?
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.
Describe the structure of the mitochondrion?
The structure of the mitochondria(singular: mitochondrion) is it is surrounded by a double membrane. The function of the mitochondria is to turn the sugar from food in the cell into ATP for the cell to use. It also changes the chemical energy in food into glucose.
What are tiny pieces of blood cells inside membranes called?
Tiny pieces of blood cells inside membranes are called microparticles or microvesicles. These structures are released from cells and can carry various biomolecules, serving as important mediators of intercellular communication and signaling.
What are well-defined subcellular structures that are enveloped in membranes called?
Structures inside a cell membrane are called organelles, and they perform vital functions for a cell, like organs do for humans.Organelles.
What are the folded inner membranes inside mitochondria?
The inner membrane folds in a mitochondrion are called cristae.
What contains a smooth outer and folded inner membrane in a cell?
The organelle that contains a smooth outer membrane and a folded inner membrane in a cell is the mitochondrion. Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through a process called cellular respiration.
What is the best reason for an organelle to have folded membranes inside it?
Having folds increase surface area.So their functions can be done efficiently.Example-mitochondria.
What is in mitochondria?
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.
What is Mitochondria (mitochondrion)?
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.
Why do the mitochondria have folded internal membranes?
Mitochondria has a membrane because it is an organelle inside a cell. All eukaryotic cells have membrane-bound organelles. There is a membrane inside the mitochondria that is folded and this allows for more space for the it ATP to be formed. A person's brain is folded so more brain can fit within the skull. These two things are the same idea.
What are the inner membranes of mitochondria?
The membrane that is inside the mitochondria, and where electron transport chain occurs.
The folded system of membranes that forms a network of interconnected compartment inside the cell is called?
Endoplasmic reticulum.
What is the folded system of membranes that forms a network of interconnected compartment inside the cell?
This is called the endomembrane system. ER, Golgi and the like.
What is the space inside the folds of the inner mitochondrial membranes?
The space on the very inside of the mitochondria past the cristae (folds in the inner membrane) is called the mitochondrial matrix.
Which cell mitochondria and cell membranes be?
if you mean in the inside of the cell mitochondria: floating in the cytoplasm Cell membrane on the outside of the cell
What does mitochondria look Iike?
Mitochondria looks like a bean. Inside it is folded into small open sections. See the link below for a picture:
