- What's the purpose of a Mitochondria?arrow_forwardWhich is NOT a characteristic of mitochondria? They: A) have two membranes. B) are the site of cellular aerobic respiration. C) have a true nucleus. D) contain their own DNA and ribosomes. E) the material inside their inner membrane (the cellular matrix) is their own cytoplasm.arrow_forwarda) At the organelle/molecular level inside a mitochondrion, wWhy do cells engaged in aerobic cellular respiration need O2? At what points during aerobic cellular resp is CO2 released? b) O2 and CO2 do not dissolve in water easily but cells must be moist to have functional phospholipid bilayers. For air breathers, moist lungs might collapse and stick together so what prevents this? c) Aquatic animals contend with the relatively lower O2 levels in water, but at least they don’t have to deal with ventilating lung. Complex gills like in fish maximize O2 exchange with a counter-current system ensuring there is always a gradient between the water and the blood. How does this ensure there is always a gradient between the water and the blood? (many people mix this up so think carefully)arrow_forward
