The answer is ; deplete the stratosphere ozone layer and allow harmful ultraviolet radiation from the sun to reach the earth.

CFCs and HCFCs decompose over years to release CL- radical. When these radicals reach the atmosphere, they react with ozone as shown in the equations below. They reduce the ozone to oxygen hence depleting the protective layer.

Cl(g) + 03(g) ---- ClO(g) + 02(g) (1)

ClO(g) + O(g) ---- Cl(g) + 02(g) (2)

How does mitochondria structure affect its function?
Olegator [25]

The outer membrane covers the organelle and contains it like a skin. The inner membrane folds over many times and creates layered structures called cristae. The fluid contained in the mitochondria is called the matrix. The folding of the inner membrane increases the surface area inside the organelle.

Mitochondria are shaped perfectly to maximize their productivity. They are made of two membranes. The outer membrane covers the organelle and contains it like a skin. The inner membrane folds over many times and creates layered structures called cristae. The fluid contained in the mitochondria is called the matrix.  

The folding of the inner membrane increases the surface area inside the organelle. Since many of the chemical reactions happen on the inner membrane, the increased surface area creates more space for reactions to occur. If you have more space to work, you can get more work done. Similar surface area strategies are used by microvilli in your intestines.  

. Mitochondria are special because they have their own ribosomes and DNA floating in the matrix. There are also structures called granules which may control concentrations of ions. Cell biologists are still exploring the activity of granules.
