Answer:
The double membrane of the mitochondria is highly folded,and therefore wider when unfolded than that of the nucleus.This is an adaptive feature to increase the surface area for reactions (electrochemical gradient) by accommodating protons pumped into it by the proton motive force(PMF) from the matrix to set up the electrochemical gradients needed to generate the energy needed by ATPase synthase enzymes for ATPs synthesis.
Required number of protons needed to be accommodated by the double membrane to generate enough energy for ATPase synthesis,therefore larger surface area is needed.
Explanation:
Sticky ends are produced by cutting the DNA in a staggered manner within the recognition site producing single-stranded DNA ends. These ends have identical nucleotide sequence and are sticky because they can hydrogen-bond to complementary tails of other DNA fragments cut by the same restriction enzyme
