What is the advantage of having a folded inner membrane in the mitochondria

Biology
1 answer:
Aliun [14]3 years ago
8 0

Okay so, the 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.

Hope that helps (:

How do you propagate trees​
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

The simplest method of propagating a tree vegetatively is rooting or taking cuttings. A cutting (usually a piece of stem of the parent plant) is cut off and stuck into soil.

Remove any flowers or fruit on the cutting. Trim the stem to just below where the bottom most leaf meets the stem. On each of the leaves on the stem, cut off half of the leaf. Put the end to be rooted.

Explanation:

As you eat the cake the salivary amylase in the mouth will begin to digest the carbohydrates. in the stomach the pH is around 2. This is a highly acidic environment.

At this point in digestion the stomach acids present will begin to act on the protein inside the cake. This protein will become denatured firstly, because of the stomach environment.
