Prokaryotes and viruses

Question 1

how is mitochondria adapted to its function

Answer 1

Mitochondria have a double membrane structure, with an inner layer with many folds to create a high surface area. This provides more space for more metabolising proteins and therefor they are able to create more energy at one time.

Question 2

how is the chloroplast adapted to its function

Answer 2

the thylakoids stack together to make the granum which increases surface area in turn,increasing light absorption

Question 3

how is the nucleus adapted to its function

Answer 3

The shape of the nucleus is mostly round, it may be oval, disc shaped depending on the type of cell. … The envelope helps to maintain the shape of the nucleus and assists in regulating the flow of molecules into and out of the nucleus through nuclear pores.

Question 4

Question 14

what are histones

Answer 14
