What is the advantage of double membrane structure for mitochondria and choloroplast?

it allows for a larger surface area
so for example the mitochondria is used to make ATP and the enzymes that are used to make it are on the membrane, so the larger the membrane surface is, the more enzymes there are so more ATP is made

What is a membrane-bound structure within a cell which carries out a particular function?
an organelle
What is the function of mitochondria in eukayotic organisms?
the mitochondria has a double membrane structure that provides adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the ATP is a molecule that provides energy to the organisms.
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 some analogies for mitochondrion?
In plants, algae, and some eukaryotic cells, the CHLOROPLASTS are analogous in function and structure to Mitochondria. CHLOROPLASTS have a second internal membrane, their own genome, and their own ribosomes. However, they are larger than mitochondria, have a uniform membrane, smooth oval shape, and contain thylakoids, which are absent in mitochondria.
Which structure is found in both plant and animal cells?
Mitochondrion
What is the advantage of having a folder inner membrane in the mitochondria?
The inner membrane in the mitochondria has many folds called cristae. The advantage of the cristae is that they increase the surface area of the membrane on which oxygen and carbohydrates combine to form ATP.
Where do the reactions of each electron transport chain occur?
In the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
What cell structure is responsible for circulation?
Mitochondria is the cellular structure that is responsible for circulation. Mitochondria are surrounded by a membrane and are present in most eukaryotic cells.
What is the structure of the mitochondria?
The structure of the mitochondria include the inner mitochondrial membrane, the outer mitochondrial membrane, the intermembrane space, the cristae, and then the mitochondrial matrix. Click on the related link for a detailed description on the structure of the mitochondria.
What does eukaryote have that prokayote does not?
A eukaryotic cell has a membrane-enclosed nucleus and other membrane-enclosed organelles. A prokaryotic cell has no membrane-enclosed organelles, including a nucleus. A prokaryotic cell's DNA is a circular chromosome in the cytoplasm.

What is the structure of mitochondrion?
The mitochondria are called the powerhouses of the cell, where ATP is produced. It is composed of an inner membrane called cristae, and an outer membrane that covers the organelle.
What is a Membrane organelles?
A membrane bound organelle is a membrane bound structure that performs a very specific function within the cell. For example - nucleus, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi apparatus.
Is the mitochondria a membrane organelle?
The mitochondria a membrane bound organelle. It has it's own DNA.
What cell structure would release energy?
The cell structure responsible for releasing energy is the mitochondria. This is an organelle that is bound by a membrane and is present in most eukaryotic cells.
