Answer:
The human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is a double-stranded, circular molecule of 16 569 bp and contains 37 genes coding for two rRNAs, 22 tRNAs and 13 polypeptides. The mtDNA-encoded polypeptides are all subunits of enzyme complexes of the oxidative phosphorylation system.
Explanation:
The answer is B. because the electron transport chains produces the most atp.
they are so unique and seen often
Answer:
The statement that says " The mitochondrion contains a circular chromosome that has bacterial DNA sequences" is true among the all statement given above.
Explanation:
The Endosymbiotic theory that is other wise known as the symbiogensis illustrates the occurrence of the eukaryotic cell from the prokaryotic cells. Mitochondria and plastids are the most studied example in support of this theory. This theory explains that the aforementioned organelles are formed as they are taken inside in one another by the prokaryotic cell. Some of the evidences in support of this theory are mentioned below:
- Phylogenetic similarity between the mitochondria and chloroplast to the proteobacteria and cynobacteria respectively.
- Ability of these organelles to divide only through binary fission as the bacterial population.
- The associated ribosomes are similar to the bacterial ribosomes.
- Presence of porins in these organelles similar the bacterial membrane.
Answer:
The correct answer would be His mitochondria lack the transport protein that moves pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane.
In cellular respiration, glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell and converts glucose into 2 molecules of pyruvate. Pyruvate is then transported into the mitochondria for further oxidation.
It is transported into the mitochondria with the help of transport protein pyruvate translocase where it is decorboxylated to produce acetyl-CoA. This acetyl-CoA then enters the Krebs cycle to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) with the help of oxidative phosphorylation, electron transport chain and chemiosmosis.
In absence of this transport protein, the cell can not completely oxidize the glucose or carbohydrate. It switches to the metabolism of fats and amino acids in order to meet the energy demands of the cell.
