Mitochondrion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Mitochondrial membrane) ...
A mitochondrion consists of outer and inner membranes, an intermembrane space (space in between the membranes), the cristae (infoldings of the inner membrane), and the matrix (space within the inner membrane).
Mitochondrion structure
The inner membrane forms folds called cristae. These folds contain the carriers of the electron transport system.
Acetyl CoA formation and the Krebs cycle occur in the inner space called the matrix.
mitochondrion -- Complex organelle found in most eukaryotes; believed to be descended from free-living bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with a primitive eukaryote.
Mitochondrion (MITE-oh-KON-dree-un) (plural: mitochondria) The cell's power plant; the organelle that converts energy from food into ATP, fueling the cell.
Mitochondrion the organelle that is the "engine" of cells where sugar is burned for fuel‚ the plural is "mitochondria"

Mitochondrion An oval-shaped organelle, about 2 Mm in length and 0.5 Mm in diameter, that is the site of oxidative phosphorylation, the enzymes of the citric acid cycle, and the enzymes of fatty acid oxidation.
mitochondrion Membrane-bounded organelle that specializes in aerobic respiration (oxidative phosphorylation) and produces most of the ATP in eukaryotic cells.
A mitochondrion may also be involved in controlling the concentration of calcium (Ca) within the cell.

The mitochondrion is different from most other organelles because it has its own circular DNA (similar to the DNA of prokaryotes) and reproduces independently of the cell in which it is found; an apparent case of endosymbiosis.
The human mitochondrion contains 5-10 identical, circular molecules of DNA. Each consists of 16,569 base pairs carrying the information for 37 genes which encode: ...
Inside the mitochondrion is a certain type of DNA. That's different in a way from the DNA that's in the nucleus. This DNA is small and circular. It has only 16,500 or so base pairs in it.

The ___ is the membrane enclosed structure in eukaryotic cells that contains the DNA of the cell. a) mitochondrion; ...
Whereas Kreb's Cycle occurs in the matrix of the mitochondrion, the Electron Transport System (ETS) chemicals are embedded in the membranes known as the cristae.
The intermembrane space is the region between the inner membrane and the outer membrane of a mitochondrion or a chloroplast. Its main function is nucleotide phosphorylation .
Glucose is used to in the mitochondrion to produce the energy molecule ATP. NAD+ is also needed for respiration, but is not produced by photosynthesis.
The compartment of the mitochondrion enclosed by the inner membrane and containing enzymes and substrates for the Krebs cycle.

A subcellular structure having a specialized function for example the mitochondrion, the chloroplast, or the spindle apparatus.

The nucleus is one of three double-membrane bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells. The other two are the mitochondria (sing. mitochondrion) and chloroplasts.
The entire complement of genetic material in a chromosome set. The entire genetic complement of a prokaryote, virus, mitochondrion or chloroplast or the haploid nuclear genetic complement of a eukaryotic species.
Mitochondria are small round or rod-like organelles involved in cellular respiration and found in the cytoplasm of plant and animal cells. Each mitochondrion may contain 5 to 10 circular pieces of DNA.
