Indicate structural adaptations of Mitochondria for its function​

Biology
1 answer:
Tpy6a [65]2 years ago
7 0

Mitochondria(Mt) are the cell's "power stations" because the energy currency for the metabolic processes in the cell is synthesised inside this organelle via aerobic respiration. This process is known as oxidative phosphorylation. Mt is a double membraned, semi-autonomous organelle.

The mitochondrion's structure is specially tailored to the function it performs:

  • The outer membrane contains carrier proteins that allow pyruvate produced during glycolysis to be transported from the cytoplasm.
  • The electron transport chain(a series of protein complexes) and ATP synthase are located in the inner membrane to transfer electrons and ATP production respectively.
  • The inner membrane is folded into numerous pockets called cristae, which raises the surface area: volume ratio.
  • When proton accumulation occurs, the small intermembrane space between two membranes increases the hydrogen gradient.
  • Matrix is the core chamber containing the necessary enzymes and pH for the Krebs cycle(oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from pyruvate) to take place.

Scientists have conducted multiple experiments on cancer cells to determine how they reproduce. All
Ber [7]
I’d say the last one, the cancer cells lack inhibition and the do not stop reproducing. The rest of the answers don’t really make sense. The cancer cells can be controlled with chemotherapy so the first one is definitely wrong. And I do not believe that they contain stem cells. The last one is right because the reason cells become cancerous is because their growth inhibitors are broken or switched off, so they do not know when to stop growing and it becomes a problem for the body.

Which structure is labeled X in the diagram below?
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

Option D

Explanation:

Diagram is attached.

Capsid protein is a form of structural protein which usually forms part of a complex which later produces protective shell around the nucleic acid in a virus. It is also referred to as coat protein or head protein.  

Capsid acts as a distinguishing feature for identifying an integrated viral genome, plasmids and other genetic material of viruses. In fact, viruses are termed as organisms that encode capsid proteins.  

Hence, option D is correct
