English: A diagram showing a mitochondrion of the eukaryotic cell. Mitochondria are organelles surrounded by membranes, distributed in the cytosol of most eukaryotic cells. Its main function is the conversion of potential energy of pyruvate molecules into ATP.
the diagram i made myself using adobe illustrator. as a source for the information i used the diagrams found here:, , , , , and . Author: Mariana Ruiz Villarreal LadyofHats: Permission (Reusing this file)
Mitochondria are commonly between 0.75 and 3 μm 2 in cross section, [11] but vary considerably in size and structure. Unless specifically stained , they are not visible. In addition to supplying cellular energy, mitochondria are involved in other tasks, such as signaling , cellular differentiation , and cell death , as well as maintaining ...
Simplified cross-section of a mitochondrion and a submitochondrial particle, showing the particle's inverted membrane orientation. Whereas whole submitochondrial particles can perform oxidative phosphorylation yielding ATP, destabilized particles lacking F 1 particles consume oxygen and oxidize NADH without synthesizing ATP, and free F 1 particles catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP into ADP.
This phenomenon can be explained by the endosymbiont hypothesis of the origin of mitochondria as prokaryotes internalized by a eukaryotic host cell. In pig heart mitochondria, phosphatidylethanolamine makes up the majority of the inner mitochondrial membrane at 37.0% of the phospholipid composition.
intracellular transport (associated with dyneins and kinesins, they transport organelles like mitochondria or vesicles). Cross section diagram through the cilium, showing the “9 + 2” arrangement of microtubules the axoneme of cilia and flagella. the mitotic spindle. synthesis of the cell wall in plants.
A cross-section view of a compression seal. In geometry and science, a cross section is the non-empty intersection of a solid body in three-dimensional space with a plane, or the analog in higher-dimensional spaces.
Simplified structure of a mitochondrion. The intermembrane space (IMS) is the space occurring between or involving two or more membranes. [1] In cell biology, it is most commonly described as the region between the inner membrane and the outer membrane of a mitochondrion or a chloroplast.
