Chapter 10, Problem 31RQ

Summary Introduction

To review:

The metabolites that accumulate on the addition of azide to actively respiring mitochondria.

Introduction:

The mitochondrion is a cell organelle found in every cell that respires. It is a double membrane structure with its inner membrane being folded to form cristae. The main purpose of the formation of folded cristae is to increase the surface area for ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecular synthesis that takes place in the inner membrane.
