  • What is the function of mitochondria in plant cells?
    In plant cells, mitochondria produce ATP through cellular respiration, just as in animal cells.
  • What is the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration in plant cells?
    Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, while cellular respiration occurs in mitochondria.
  • Why do both plant and animal cells have mitochondria?
    Both plant and animal cells have mitochondria because they both require ATP for cellular processes.
  • What is the function of the mitochondrial cristae?
    Cristae increase the surface area of the inner membrane, allowing for more electron transport chain proteins and ATP synthase.
  • What is the function of the mitochondrial matrix?
    The mitochondrial matrix is the site of the citric acid cycle and contains mitochondrial DNA, ribosomes, and enzymes.
