Indicate structural adaptations of Mitochondria for its function​

Biology
1 answer:
Tpy6a [65]1 year 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.

What effect does hydrostatic equilibrium have on a solar system body
sesenic [268]

To attain spherical shape is the  hydro-static equilibrium have on a solar system body

<u>Explanation:</u>

The interior of the sun has hydrostatic equilibrium which keeps the sun stable. It helps to maintain equilibrium between the gravitational force and the force exerted due to the gas. The gravitational pull creates inward force to destabilise the sun. But the gases creates outward pressure.  

These two forces acting against each other give a spheroidal shape for the planets.The static structure of the solar system body is obtained by the hydrostatic equilibrium and not giving room to shrink or expand its state.

Answer:

Self-report measures were used to avoid interviewer bias. By introducing computer software, interviewer bias may be reduced. However, interviews were not conducted blindly with cases and controls, and as such interviewer bias cannot be excluded as having an influence on our findings

What were Louis Pasteur's experiments related to spontaneous generation?
Tamiku [17]
Spontaneous generation was a (refuted) theory that some forms of life can arise from inorganic matter. 

Louis Pasteur refuted it in a series of experiments, in which he boiled different matter (grape juice, broth) which would kill all the bacteria and let it stay for a long time to see if it would develop life (he also had a control condition in which he let the boiled liquid interact with the outside words, and those would develop bacterial life).
