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 (:

Mashutka [201]

Answer:

                 

Explanation:

I am the thing that goes bump in the night. The shadow-like figure all are too afraid to identify in their room. The silent stalker of your waking nightmares and lucid dreams. Do not worry, I can- but will not- hurt you. Your family, however, doesn't have such luck. Do not warn them that I will be following their every move, or it will lead to a grizzly fate for you and your bloodline. I hope that my message has given you closure for the events to come.

In the meantime, you can pray for your family. Maybe I'll have mercy.

Why does it benefit an imperial shrimp to travel on a sea cucumber?
olasank [31]

Answer:

the imperial shrimp and the sea cucumber have what's referred to as a one sided symbiotic relationship. that's a type of relationship where there's two organisms, but only one of those organisms benefit. the other organism isn't helped, but it isn't hurt, either.

<u>an imperial shrimp benefits from its relationship with the sea cucumber because the shrimp, when hungry, can get a lift on his lil friend the sea cucumber and is dragged around the ocean to where there's food for shrimp to eat :)</u>
