Mitochondria are known as the<em> powerhouses</em> of the cell. They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy-rich molecules for the cell.

Mitochondria Structure

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 <em>cristae</em>. The fluid contained in the mitochondria is called the <em>matrix. </em>

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.

The outer membrane is technically the skin and covers the organelle.

The inner membrane folds over many times and creates layered structures called cristae.

Airida [17]

Answer:

for starters the 5 stages are called prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokines. in prophase the nuclear membrane will devolve and the chromosomes will be seeable. in metaphase the chromosomes meet in the middle. anaphase is when the spindle fibers start to move and attach to the chromosomes and start to pull and anaphase stops when everything stops moving. in telophase, well it the opposite of prophase, in cytokines it starts in the middle of anaphase and what it does is it like pinches it in two new cells.

How long will it take you to reach Fujairah from Dubai if you drive at the speed of 120 km/h. (Hint the distance between Dubai a
rosijanka [135]
It would take one hour because if you are traveling at 120 km/h, you cover a distance of 120 km for every hour that passes. Since the distance from Dubai to Fujairah is 120 km and you are figuring out how much time it'd take to get from one place to another, you'd have to divide the distance (120 km) by the speed (120 km/h), which should give you an answer of 1 hour.
