What are the two functions that mitochondrial membranes serve in energy metabolism?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
- allow exit of low energy waste material example CO2 which leaves as a low energy metabolic waste of the cellular respiration process.
- has numerous proteins and enzymes that play roles in the respiration process
- the mitochondrial matrix is a protein rich liquid that fills the innermost space which again plays an important role.

How does mitochondrial energy harvest work?
Mitochondrial energy is harvested from fermentation and cellular respiration. This breaks down the nutrients and turns them into glucose molecules and then to energy.
How is ATP important to cell metabolism?
ATP is important to the cell because it provides the energy it needs for all its functions.
What determines whether or not a substance will be actively transported through a cell membrane?
Active transport can only occur at intact, closed membranes. Such membranes can envelop very different compartments, like the whole cell, vesicles, the vacuole, the mitochondrial matrix, the inner thylacoid space of the chloroplasts, etc.
What is the location of the Krebs cycle?
In the mitochondrial matrix is where the Krebs Cycle occurs. A pool of chemical energy of ATP, NADH, and FADH2 is generated from the oxidation of pyruvate.
What Organic compound that is used to store energy and forms important parts of biological membranes?
Cell membranes are phospholipids not proteins. Proteins are not used as energy stores by living things. Energy stores are sugars and fats.
The difference in charge on the inside and the outside of mitochondrial membranes supplies the energy to what?
The formation of ATP.
What are the functions of the Mitochondrial?
mitchondria make energy in the form of ATP from glusose.
What do they need the energy for?
for the synthesis of food, metabolism and other physiological functions
What is basal basic metabolism?
it is the metabolism pathways required for the body survival ( produces the energy needed for organs functions)
Result of metabolism of energy nutrients?
During metabolism, energy nutrients are broken down and distributed to cells throughout the body. These nutrients are used to power cell functions.
What is basal metabolism the minimal 24 hour energy expenditure for?
basic body functions
What is the non-iron mineral that functions in DNA and heme production and energy metabolism?
zinc
What role do mitochondria have in transcription?
Mitochondrial DNA is DNA found in the mitochondria that converts chemical energy from food into ATP for energy. This energy is then used in transcription, along with the other cell functions.
Mutations in mitochondrial genes often cause disorders that affect cells?
the mitochondrial mutations effect to those cells which have maternal inherritance character and the mutation is called poky mutation

What are two lipids functions?
eg,meat,groundnut,groundnut oil,fish,dog meat.
