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

1 answer:

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 (:

What does it mean to say that mass is conserved during a physical change?

kaheart [24]

Alright, so mass is a property of a physical body. During physical changes, such as acceleration, force, etc, the mass stays the same since we are not affecting its physical shape, just where it is physics wise. So yeah mass is conserved during a physical change.

(This is very confusing I'm bad at explaining things sorry)
