This is our learning resource on Mitochondria, in the form of a quiz. There may be more than one correct answer for each question, or equally just one. It is advised that this quiz is used as a consolidation resource, and that lectures have been revised, as well as the content of "Karp, G. C. (2014). Cell Biology. 7th ed. New Jersey: John Wiley." is covered (or any other molecular cell biology text book.

Here is a practice at answering:

Frage 7 von 33

2

Why is the mitochondria termed as 'semi-autonomous'?

Wähle eine oder mehr der folgenden:

  • It has it's own DNA and therefore replication is not controlled by cell division but most of the proteins it requires are encoded for by the nucleus and without them, the mitochondrion would not be functional.

  • It can only partially carry out its function on its own without the intervention of other organelles to complete a task.

  • It has it's own DNA and ribosomes within the matrix but requires substrates from the cytosol such as pyruvate to carry out its function as it doesn't contain the right enzymes to make the substrates itself.
