Due to their separate DNA, they are thought to be descendants of aerobic bacteria that have made their way into eukaryotes via endosymbiosis.
Brown adipose tissue is rich in these thermogenin containing organelles, a protein which produces heat by shivering. Their inner membranes are highly impermeable and are folded into compartments known as cristae (*). Due to their separate DNA, they are thought to be descendants of aerobic bacteria that have made their way into eukaryotes via endosymbiosis. FTP, identify these organelles, the sites of phosphorylated ATP synthesis and cellular energy conversion, commonly known as the power plants of a cell.
