(Tıp) mitokondri
İngilizce - İngilizce
Plural form of mitochondrion
-the chemical factories of cells, where energy is made Thousands of mitochondria are present in each cell
plural of mitochondrion
Specialized subcellular structures located within body cells that contain oxidative enzymes needed by the cell to metabolize foodstuffs into energy sources Organic - Being composed of, or containing matter of plant or animal origin
A rod-shaped or oval body in cells that is the site of energy production by means of oxidation
(mitochondrial DNA) - powerhouses of the cell They are little bean-shaped things that produce energy They contain their own DNA
Mitochondria are subcellular organelles found in eukaryotes which are between 0 2-0 5 micrometers in length It consists of a double membrane surrounding a matrix, with the inner membrane folded into finger-like projections called cristae The walls of these cristae are the site of energy production for the cell, because of this the mitochondria are called the powerhouse of the cell The mitochondria are found in large numbers in cells with high energy needs The mitochondria are self replicating and contain DNA by which they control synthesis of their own proteins
Small structures within animal cells responsible for the animal's energy metabolism, they convert food into chemicals which cells can use Originally thought to be part of the cell, they are now seen as specialised bacteria, with their own DNA, which have co-operated with animal cells for untold ages Hard science stuff about Mitochondrial DNA
The organelles that generate energy in eukaryotic cells Mitochondria have their own genome encoding a subset of the proteins found in mitochondria; the mitochondrial genome uses an alternate genetic code
mobile cytoplasmic organelles of eukaryotes visible in the light microscope whose main function is the generation of ATP molecules
Power-producing organelles of the cell, site of catabolic aerobic respiration Mitochondria contain their own chromosome of DNA, which are generally maternally inherited through the egg
Organelle in a cell that oxidizes organic (see respiration) energy for use in cellular metabolism
A small, intracellular, spherical to rod-shaped cytoplasmic organelle, enclosed by Z membranous spaces; the inner membrane is folded, forming a series of projections called cristae Mitochondria are the principal sites of ATP synthesis; they contain enzymes of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and enzymes for fatty acid oxidation, oxidative phosphorylation, and many other biochemical pathways They contain their own nucleic acids and ribosomes, replicate independently, and code for the synthesis of some of their own proteins
A part of the cell (organelle) that is responsible for energy production The organelle consists of two sets of membranes, a smooth continuous outer coat and an inner membrane arranged in tubules or in folds that form plate-like double membranes (cristae); the principal energy source of the cell, containing the cytochrome enzymes of terminal electron transport and the enzymes of the citric acid cycle, fatty acid oxidation, and oxidative phosphorylation Responsible for converting nutrients into energy as well as many other specialized tasks
n microscopic bodies occurring in the cells of nearly all living organisms that contain enzymes responsible for the conversion of food to usable energy
The organelles in eukaryotic cells that carry out terminal respiration, specialized structures that carry out respiration and store energy
Organelles found in the majority of cells in the human body Each mitochondria contains DNA known as mt DNA which is of interest to Forensic Scientists
Cell organelles that metabolize sugars into energy Mitochondria also contain DNA, which is damaged by the high level of free radicals produced in the mitochondria
organelles which contain groups of enzymes necessary to aerobic metabolism
The small extra-nuclear organelles (bodies) within a cell's cytoplasm that control production of energy from food through the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
the energy producing organelles of the cell
(1901): any of various round or long cellular organelles are found outside the nucleus, produce energy for the cell through cellular respiration, and are rich in fats, proteins, and enzymes These are the chemical factories where the products of cellular metabolism are created
A cellular organelle that originated as a gram negative endosymbiotic bacteria Mitochondria have retained a remnant of their once intact bacterial genome The entire mitochondrial genome has been sequenced in Acanthamoeba and Dictyostelium, however attempts to use mitochondrial sequences to classify members of the genus Acanthamoeba have not been completely successful Mitochondria produce ATP using a chemiosmotic mechanism involving electron transport The morphology of mitochondria has been extensively used as a means of classifying amoeba, however it has recently come to light that a single protein (ATP synthetase) determines the morphology of the entire organelle (Paumard et al, 2002),making the classification scheme fragile Paumard, P , Vaillier, J , Coulary, B , Schaeffer, J , Soubannier, V , Mueller, D M , Brethes, D , di Rago, J -P & Velours, J (2002) The ATP synthase is involved in generating mitochondrial cristae morphology , EMBO J 21, 221-230
Semi-autonomous, self-reproducing organelles within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells that are bounded by two membranes These organelles are responsible for the energy conversion of most of the cellular energy metabolites into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by oxidative phosphorylation
Cell organelles that help the cell produce energy
The mitochondria are the principal energy source of the cell Mitochondria convert nutrients into energy as well as doing many other specialized tasks
