Q

inner mitochondria

A

contains numerous inholdings (cristae)
which increases the available surface area for the integral preotines
encloses the mitochondrialmatrix where the critic acid cycle produces high energy election carriers used in the electron transport chain.

Q

outer mitochondria

A

highly permeable due to many large pores that allow for the passage of ions and small proteins.
Surrounds the inner mitondrial membrane with small inter membrane space in between two layers

Q

membrane receptors

A

must have both an extracellular and intracellular domain therefore, they are considered transmembrane proteins. in order to initiate a second messenger cascade, they typically display enzymatic activity though some may act strictly as channels.

Q

fluid mosaic model

A

accounts for a dynamic membrane
contains both fatty and carbohydrate derived components.
stabilized by the hydrophobic proteins, which may be found on the cytosolic or extracellular side of the membrane or may run directly through the membrane.
