mitochondria are also known as

The molecular structure of cell membrane is still not clearly known. Several models have been proposed from time to time to explain its structure based on its physico-chemical properties. In the year 1935 Danielli and Dawson proposed that the cell membrane is made up of a lipid layer sand..

The metabolic pathway through which the electron passes from one carrier to another, is called the electron transport system. Electron Transport System (ETS) in Mitochondrion The electron transport system occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. The electron transport system cont..

. Glycine is converted to serine and CO 2 in the mitochondria. The serine thus formed is converted to glycerate, through a series of reactions which occurs in the peroxisome. This process is known as photorespiration or photosynthetic carbon oxidation cycle. Photorespiration is ..

The spermatids formed as a result of maturation division is a typical animal cell with all the cell organelles present in it. In this form it cannot function as a male gamete. So many changes take place to change the non-motile spermatid into motile spermatozoan. The main aim of the changes is to i..
