Asap 30 points the inner membrane of mitochondria consists of many folds. how does the structure of this membrane in the function of the mitochondria? a. increase the surface area to allow more space for atp synthesis during cellular respiration b. house enzymes needed for digestion c. provide structural support for the mitochondria d. decrease the surface area so substance can't diffuse in

Option (a).

Explanation:

Mitochondria are double-membrane bound, present in almost every eukaryotic cells. They provide site for the cellular respiration that produces ATP as energy molecules, and hence, are known as power house of the cell.

Inner membrane of mitochondria have many finger-like projections or folds, known as cristae that leads to an increase in surface area of inner membrane.

As ATP synthesis takes place on inner membrane of mitochondria, increased folding provides more surface area or space for ATP production.  

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
