Question
Chapter 18, Problem 42P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason behind the mitochondria of muscle cells have more cristae than the mitochondria of liver cells should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Electron transport chain is also termed as oxidative phosphorylation. This process takes place in the mitochondria of the cell. During this reaction, electrons are passed on from NADH or FADH2 to oxygen molecules via various electron carriers. Moreover, this reaction is the process of ATP formation.
