What is the Structure and Function of Mitochondria<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Mitochondria :<\/strong><\/span>
\nA single mitochondrion is present in unicellular green alga, Microsterias. Number of mitochondria varies from 50\u00ad\u201350,000 <\/strong>per cell. Mitochondria of a cell are collectively known as chondriome.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Historical Account :<\/strong><\/span>
\nC. Benda <\/strong>(1897) gave the name Mitochondria (Mitos, thread + Chondrion, granules).<\/span>
\nTerm \u2018Bioplast\u2019 for mitochondria was used by Altman.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ultrastructure : <\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Mitochondria are rod shaped organelles,\u00a0 bounded by a double membrane envelope.<\/li>\n
  • The outer membrane is smooth, the inner membrane surrounds a central cavity of matrix. <\/strong>Central cavity is filled with jel like substances.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \"What<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Inner membranes folds are called cristae, these folding are tubular and called microvilli<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    • Mitochondria contain electron transport systems aggregated into compact structure. F1<\/sub><\/strong>\u00a0particles or oxysome<\/strong>, tennis racket like bodies on inner membrane involved in oxidation & phosphorylation.<\/li>\n
    • Kreb\u2019s cycle occurs in mitochondria.<\/li>\n
    • Each particle is made up of base, stalk and head.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Functions of Mitochondria :<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Mitochodria are called power plants<\/strong> or power houses<\/strong> or cellular\u00a0 furnaces<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
      • Synthesis of ATP (Adenosine Tri-phosphate<\/strong>) in mitochondria is called oxidative phosphorylation.<\/strong><\/li>\n
      • Mitochondria as place of cellular respiration was first observed by Hogeboom.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
