110-2 Structure/Function of the Organelles
II Energetics/Respiration
2Mitochondrial Structure/Function
- Mitochondria
- 15-20 of liver cell volume
- More in muscle
- Associated fatty acid/oil droplets
- Function is intimately tied to membrane structure
3Mitochondrial Structure/Function
- Mitochondria
- Membrane structure
- Outer membrane
- Complex inner membrane
- Deep folds cristae
- Large surface area
- Houses the machinery for aerobic respiration
4Mitochondrial Structure/Function
- Membrane structure
- Two aqueous compartments
- Interior the matrix
- Between the inner and outer membranes
intermembrane space
5Mitochondrial Structure/Function
- Membrane structure
- Inner Membrane
- gt 100 different polypeptides
- High protein lipid
- No cholesterol
6Mitochondrial Structure/Function
- Membrane structure
- Outer Membrane
- Porins integral proteins
- Large internal channel
- Reversible closure
- When open permeable to molecules up to 5,000 Da
- ATP, NAD (lt 1,000 Da)
- Inner Membrane
- Impermeable to all molecules and ions
- Membrane transporters - important
7Mitochondrial Structure/Function
- Mitochondrial Matrix
- Ribosomes smaller than in cytosol
- DNA circular
- Encodes mitochondrial polypeptides
- Integral in inner membrane
- Encodes two r-RNAs (12S and 16S)
- Encodes 22 t-RNAs
8Mitochondrial Structure/Function
- Oxidative Metabolism
- Glucose - glycolysis in the cytosol
- Anaerobic
- Very small proportion of total available energy
liberated - Most remains in pyruvate
- Pyruvate and NADH
- Metabolized in two different ways
- Determined by cell type
- Use of oxygen
9Mitochondrial Structure/Function
- Oxidative Metabolism
- Extracts large amounts of energy
- Enough to generate gt 30 ATP
- Pyruvate
- Transported into matrix
- Carboxylated and reacts with coenzyme A
- Producing Acetyl CoA
- Catalyzed by pyruvate dehydrogenase
10Mitochondrial Structure/Function
- Oxidative Metabolism
- Acetyl CoA
- To TCA cycle
- Enzymes of the TCA cycle
- Succinate dehydrogenase
- Bound to the inner membrane
- All other TCA cycle enzymes
- matrix
11Mitochondrial Structure/Function
- Oxidative Metabolism
- TCA cycle
12Mitochondrial Structure/Function
- Oxidative Metabolism
- TCA cycle
