The upcoming discussion will update you about the differences between Outer and Inner Mitochondrial Membranes. Difference # Outer Mitochondrial Membranes: 1. The membrane is smooth. 2. It bears porins or protein lined channels. 3. Enzymes are fewer. 4. Folding's are absent. 5. Protein content is roughly equal to that of lipids. 6. Cholesterol and other lipids are present. Cardiolipins are [...]
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 [...]
In this article we will discuss about the structure of mitochondria with its function. This will also help you to draw the structure and diagram of mitochondria. 1. Mitochondria are commonly called the "Power house" of the cell. 2. Benda (1897) was the first to coin the term mitochondrion. 3. Usually, mitochondria are 0.5 to 1 n in diameter and [...]
