Concept explainers
To explain: The role of mitochondrial membranes in
Concept introduction: Cellular respiration is the biological process during which the chemical energy of food is released and gets converted in the form of ATP. It occurs in four major steps – glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
To determine: The reason why the inner mitochondrial membrane is extensively folded, but the outer membrane is not.
Concept introduction: Cellular respiration is the biological process during which the chemical energy of food is released and gets converted in the form of ATP. It occurs in four major steps – glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
To determine: The structure in the chloroplasts that performs the same function that the inter-membrane space does in a mitochondrion.
