Chapter 6.5, Problem 2CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: Plant cells have mitochondria.
Concept introduction: Mitochondria are found in every eukaryotic cell. The mitochondria are a double membrane boundedby organelles. It has two membranes: the outer membrane and inner membrane. The inner membrane in mitochondria is convoluted with a folding inside called the cristae. Cristae have huge surface with fixed enzymes to carry out reactions.
