What is the space between the mitochondrial membranes called?
What is the space between the mitochondrial membranes called?
intermembrane space
What is Perimitochondrial space?
The mitochondrial intermembrane space is the space between the outer membrane and the inner membrane. It is also known as perimitochondrial space. One protein that is localized to the intermembrane space in this way is cytochrome c.
What are the inner folds of the mitochondria called?
The inner membrane of the mitochondrion folds inwards, forming the cristae. This folding allows a greater amount of membrane to be packed into the mitochondrion.
What do you call the space between Cristae?
As those electrons travel farther through the electron transport chain in the inner membrane, energy is gradually released and used to pump the hydrogen ions from the splitting of NADH and FADH2 into the space between the inner membrane and the outer membrane (called the intermembrane space), creating an …
Which type of cell has the most mitochondria?
heart muscle cells
What step in cellular respiration produces the most ATP?
The Krebs cycle takes place inside the mitochondria. The Krebs cycle produces the CO2 that you breath out. This stage produces most of the energy ( 34 ATP molecules, compared to only 2 ATP for glycolysis and 2 ATP for Krebs cycle).
Where is the mitochondria matrix?
The matrix of a mitochondrion is the mitochondrion internal spaces enclosed by the inner membrane. Several of the steps in cellular respiration occur in the matrix due to its high concentration of enzymes.
Why is the inner membrane of mitochondria folded Class 9?
→The inner membrane of the mitochondria is folded to make more surface area where chemical reactions can take place. The more the folds, the bigger the surface. The molecules and some of the enzymes that are responsible for making ATP are situated in and on the folds of these inner membranes
Does mitochondria have a bilayer?
Mitochondria, like nuclei, have two phospholipid bilayers. The bilayer closest to the cytoplasm, or the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM, not Om Nom Nom), has integral proteins called porins that allow small molecules to pass freely into the mitochondria.
