Why are AT pairs are easier to pull apart than GC pairs during the unwinding process

1 answer:

5 0

Initiator proteins break hydrogen bonds separating short length of DNA, AT base pairs are held together by fewer hydrogen bonds than GC pair. Thus AT pairs are easier to pull apart, At rich regions are typically found in the replication origins. Replication origins are site at which DNA is first opened.

What is the purpose of the folded inner membrane in mitochondria

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Increase the membrane surface area which creates more work space

Explanation:

Mitochondrion (Plural-mitochondria) is referred to as the powerhouse the the cell because it is the site of ATP (energy rich compound) synthesis in the cell. Mitochondria are shaped perfectly to maximize their productivity. They are made of two membranes; the outer membrane, which sheds the organnelle and contains it like a skin and the inner membrane, which folds over many times and creates a layered invagination called CRISTAE.

The folding of the inner membrane increases the membrane surface area inside the organnelle. Since many of the chemical reactions e.g. Cellular respiration (ETC and Chemiosmosis) occur in the inner membrane, the increased surface area creates more space for the reactions to occur.

It is just reasonable that the more the space, the more the work that can be done.
