The chloroplast of plant cells and the mitochondrion of animal cells. Both of these are involved in the production of energy and are derived from the secondary endosymbiosis of an alga (in the case of the chloroplast) or a cyanobacteria (in the case of the mitochondrion).

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.


Does the smooth endoplasmic reticulum have a single or double membrane?

yeh it is a double membrane bound organelle. the inner membrane is heavily folded for a large surface are for enzyme activity. its function is the synthesis, modification and distribution of protiens.


Which is an organelle found in the cytoplasm has a smooth outer membrane and greatly folded inner membrane?

Endoplasmic Reticulum: a series of highly folded membranes, "rough" endoplasmic reticulum has many ribosomes attached to it. "Smooth" endoplasmic reticulum has no ribosomes attached to it and is the structure where fats (lipids) are made but both types of endoplasmic reticulum carry materials through the cytoplasm.


Which cell organelle produces new membrane for the cell?

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the cell organelle responsible for producing new membrane for the cell. The rough ER has ribosomes attached to its surface, which helps in protein synthesis and membrane production.


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.

It is the mitochondria


In which organelle are lipids components of the cell membrane assembled?

The smooth parts of the Endoplasmic Reticulum. :)


Why is inner mitochondrial membrane folded?

The outer membrane is smooth, while the inner membrane is convoluted into folds called cristae in order to increase the surface area


Is chloroplast surrounded by membrane?

Yes, chloroplasts are surrounded by a double membrane. The outer membrane is smooth, while the inner membrane is folded into structures called thylakoids, where photosynthesis takes place.


What organelle makes membrane lipids that will be exported out of the cell?

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the organelle responsible for synthesizing membrane lipids that will be exported out of the cell. The smooth ER, specifically, is involved in lipid production and contributes to the formation of vesicles that transport lipids to the Golgi apparatus for export.


What is the cell organelle responsible for membrane biogenesis?

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the cell organelle responsible for membrane biogenesis. It synthesizes lipids and proteins that are essential for building cellular membranes. The smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis, while the rough ER is involved in protein synthesis.


What organelle is connected to the nuclear envelpoe?

The rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is a continuation from the nuclear membrane, which in turn is connected to the smooth ER.


How would you describe the outer membrane of the mitochondria organelle?

The outer membrane of the mitochondria is a phospholipid bilayer that surrounds the organelle, serving as a barrier that controls the passage of molecules in and out. It contains transport proteins to facilitate the movement of ions, metabolites, and proteins across the membrane. The outer membrane is smooth and less selective compared to the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
