The outer and inner membranes of a mitochondria spindle are _.
Correct answer: A. Structurally and functionally different
- A. Structurally and functionally different
- B. Structurally different but functionally similar
- C. Structurally and functionally similar
- D. Structurally similar but functionally different
Explanation
Mitochondria is the double membrane bounded organelle found in eukaryotes.It is the power house of cell. Structure: The inner membrane forms numerous folds (cristae), which extend into the interior (or matrix) of the organelle. Each of these components plays distinct functional roles, with the matrix and inner membrane representing the major working compartments of mitochondria. The outer mitochondrial membrane is described as double phospholipid membrane that surrounds the inter-membrane space, inner membrane, and inner matrix. Functions: The outer membrane is similar to the plasma membrane in structure. It helps in establishing the connection between the inner mitochondrial and the cytoplasm. The inner membrane is the site for ATP synthesis. So, inner and outer membrane of mitochondria are structurally and functionally different.
