- the mitochondria
- about
- organelles found in eukaryotic cells
- the site of aerobic respiration
- are about 0.5-1.0ym diametre
- about 2.5ym long although can be up to 10ym long in athletes
- the matrix
- enzymes that catalyse the link and krebs e.g.dehydrogenase enzymes
- co enzyme NAD contained
- oxceloacetate found here
- mitochondrial DNA and ribosomes found here
- inner membrane
- impermeable to most small ions
- folded to increase surface area so more ATP synthase so more ATP
- it has embedded electron carriers and ATP synthase
- each electron carrier is an enzyme, oxidoreductase
- some electron carriers have a co enzyme that pumps protons to create a gradient for chemiosmosis
- ATP synthase are large and protude from inner membrane into matrix
- FADH reduced from krebs cycle tightly bound to a dehydrogenase enzyme in inner membrane
- these H atoms pass into matrix not pumped in
- outermembrane
- phospholipid composition
- has channels and carries
