Term
what is found in the mitochondrial subdomains?
Definition
cristae, outer membrane, matrix, inner membrane, DNA, and ribosomes
Term
where does the ETC happend
Definition
cristae
Term
where does the citric acid cycle
Definition
in the mitochondrial matrix
Term
what must be set up to have chemiosmosis?
Definition
you must have a proton or hydrogen gradient.

voltate gradient

sealed, membrane limit compartment

electron carriers to move electrons from high to low energy states.

couple the process of electron transport to the movement of protons
Term
where is the proton gradient produced and by what mechanism?
Definition
in the cristae and by proton pumps
Term
what is the proton motive force?
Definition
this force drives ATP synthesis by the action of ATP synthase
Term
how do mitochondria replicate ?
Definition
themselves
Term
how do proteins get in from the mitochondria they cannot produce themselves?
Definition
Translocator Outer and Inner Membrane
Term
what helps attract membrane proteins into the matrix?
Definition
proteins have a signal sequence that must be recognized

proteins bind to a chaperone that uncoils it.

then the tome guiding proteins come in
Term
protein moving into the matrix
Definition
the inside of the cell is negative and protons are positive. this helps to attract the protons into the cell.
Term
what differentiates mitochondrial DNA from mendelian genetics?
Definition
the codons are different codes.
Term
why is a mutation in the mitochondrial tRNA so severe?
Definition
it can cause mitochondrial myopathy and ragged red muscle fibers.

high percentage-myoclonic epilepsy
Term
will d loop mutations occur gradually in mitochondria?
Definition
yes
Term
what tests would help you notice D loop mutations
Definition
loss of staining-cytochemical tests
Term
mitochondrial tests would abnormally reveal?
Definition
heteroplasmic mtDNA
Term
what about D loop mutations
Definition
no stain of mitochondria will be present
