The similarities in appearance between these structures are pretty clear. The mitochondrion is a double-membrane organelle, with a smooth outer membrane and an inner membrane which protrudes into the interior of the mitochondrion in folds called cristae. This membrane is very similar in appearance to the prokaryotic plasma membrane with its mesosomes.

Why Erythromycins does not destroy the 70s ribosomes in mitochondria which is inside eukaryotic cells while it destroys 70s ribosomes in bacteria?

ribosomes are created from the nucleus (protein synthesis) so ribosomes of bacterica will have different genetic information....and remember the cells can communicate with each other .e.g hormones


What std causes symptoms similar to bacterial vaginosis?

Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that can cause symptoms similar to bacterial vaginosis, such as abnormal vaginal discharge, itching, and an unpleasant odor. It is important to see a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.


How are prophages and bacterial plasmids similar?

Prophages and bacterial plasmids are both genetic elements found in bacteria. They can replicate independently from the bacterial chromosome and confer certain traits to the bacterial host, such as antibiotic resistance. Additionally, both prophages and plasmids can integrate into the bacterial chromosome and be vertically inherited during cell division.


The type of bacterial reproduction that is most similar to sexual reproduction is called?

Conjugation is a type of bacterial reproduction that is most similar to sexual reproduction. In conjugation, genetic material is transferred between two bacterial cells through direct physical contact. This allows for genetic diversity and the exchange of beneficial traits between bacteria.


Why is the inner mitochondrial membrne folded?

The mitochondrial membrane's cristae are similar in size to villa lining the intestine and are there for much of the same purpose, to increase surface area for absorption.

What is related to mitochondria?

It is thought that mitochondria were once bacteria as they have their own DNA and it is similar to bacterial DNA.


What is the difference between a bacterial strain and species in terms of their genetic makeup and characteristics?

Bacterial strains are variations within a species that have different genetic makeup and characteristics, while bacterial species are distinct groups of strains that share similar genetic traits and characteristics.


Are bacterial vaginosis and trichomoniasis similar?

No, bacterial vaginosis can't turn into trichomoniasis. They have different causes. However, they often go together. It's not unusual for someone to be diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis, which is relatively easy to diagnose, and later find out she also has trichomoniasis, which is harder to diagnose.
