Is there mitochondria present in platelets?

Platelets are not cells.They are cell fragments.They do not have Mitochondria.


What is the difference between plant cell and animal cell mitochondria?

1. Plant mitochondria have uncoupling protein that allows H+ to diffuse from the intermembrane space back to the matrix, and animals don't. Having this protein seems to decrease amount of ATP generated, so it is still unclear what its function is. 2. They also have Alternative Oxidase (AOX) which provides alternative route for electrons passing through electron transport chain to reduce Oxygen to water. 3. Two NAD(P)H dehydrogenases, both Ca2+-dependent, attached to the outer surface of the inner membrane facing the intermembrane space can oxidize cytosolic NADH and NADPH.


Is each cell ball-shaped?

Not all cells are ball-shaped; they come in various shapes depending on their function and type. For example, red blood cells are typically disc-shaped, while neurons have long, branching structures. Bacteria can be spherical (cocci), rod-shaped (bacilli), or spiral (spirilla). The shape of a cell is often adapted to its specific role in an organism.


Which of these is the disc-shaped region in the solar system that contains icy debris?

Kuiper belt


Compare the chloroplast and mitochondria?

Mitochondria are cell's energy producers, they are also called power house of the cell. they have various shapes but are usually sausage like, double walled, inner wall is thrown into folds called cristae. they have DNA containing several genes & also contain ribosomes where as chloroplast is a kind of plastid present only in plant cell. they contain a pigment called chlorophyll which traps solar energy to prepare their food thus allow the process of photosynthesis.

How would you describe the characteristics of Discicristates?

Discicristates is a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms that includes organisms like Giardia and Trichomonas. They are characterized by having a reduced or absent mitochondrion and lack typical mitochondrial features. Many members of Discicristates are anaerobic and have unique features in their cellular structure and reproduction.

Compare contrast the chloraplast with mitochondria?

1)Mitochondria occur in the cells of aerobic organisms with the exception of mammalian RBCs while Chloroplasts occur in the cells of green photosynthetic parts of plants. 2)Mitochondria is colourless while Chloroplasts is green in colour. 3) Mitochondria's shape is rod-like or sausage-shaped while Chloroplasts are generally disc-like in outline. 4) Mitochondria liberate energy while Chloroplasts trap solar energy and convert it into chemical energy. 5) Mitochondria perform oxidation of food while Chloroplasts synthesize food by photosynthesis. 6) Mitochondria consumes O2 and liberate CO2 while Chloroplasts consumes CO2 and liberate O2.


Compare functions of chloroplast and mitochondria?

1)Mitochondria occur in the cells of aerobic organisms with the exception of mammalian RBCs while Chloroplasts occur in the cells of green photosynthetic parts of plants. 2)Mitochondria is colorless while Chloroplasts is green in color. 3) Mitochondria's shape is rod-like or sausage-shaped while Chloroplasts are generally disc-like in outline. 4) Mitochondria liberate energy while Chloroplasts trap solar energy and convert it into chemical energy. 5) Mitochondria perform oxidation of food while Chloroplasts synthesize food by photosynthesis. 6) Mitochondria consumes O2 and liberate CO2 while Chloroplasts consumes CO2 and liberate O2.
