16
Q

Transfers hydrogen from one side of the membrane to another

A

Hydrogen pump

17
Q

Space between inner and outer membranes of the mitochondria

A

Intercristae space

18
Q

Pump in the electron transport chain that catalyzes the transfer of the electrons to oxygen to make water.

A

Third pump

19
Q

Uses the energy of the hydrogen ion gradient to form ATP from ADP and phosphate

A

ATP synthase

20
Q

Importance of Cristae

A
  1. Contains ETC and ATP pump

2. Separates matrix from the space that will contain H+.

Q

Elementary particles in the inner surface of the Cristae

A

ATP synthase molecules

24
Q

Lies outside the inner membrane , a loosely attached peripheral protein in the space contained by the Cristae

A

Cytochrome C

25
Q

How do mitochondria replicate

A

Undergoes fission like a bacterial cells

26
Q

Mechanism of how mitochondria are being degraded

A

Autophagy, facilitated by lysosomes

Q

Jerky movements

A

Ragged muscle fibers

30
Q

Eye defects, abnormal heartbeat, central nervous system degeneration
