Cristae remain in contact with [...]
The following points highlight the two types of micro-bodies. The types are: 1. Peroxisomes 2. Glyoxysomes. Micro-Bodies: Type # 1. Peroxisomes: They are micro bodies which contain enzymes for peroxide biosynthesis. Peroxisomes were discovered by De Duve (1965) with the help of fractionation technique. The term was coined by De Duve in 1969. Peroxisomes are found in both plant and [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Meaning of Mitochondria 2. Shape and Size of Mitochondria 3. Structure 4. Autonomy 5. Functions. Meaning of Mitochondria: Mitochondria are cell organelles of aerobic eukaryotes which take part in oxidative phosphorylation and Krebs cycle of aerobic respiration. They are called power houses of cell because they are the major centres of release [...]
