Mutations in these structures can cause such diseases as Leigh's disease and Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy, while the petite version of Saccharomyces is a result of a mutation in them.
Mutations in these structures can cause such diseases as Leigh's disease and Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy, while the petite version of Saccharomyces is a result of a mutation in them. Electrons are transferred between the cytosol and this organelle by the malate-aspartate shuttle, while the caspase cascade is promoted by the release of cytochrome c from them, thus inducing apoptosis. Endosymbiotic theories of their origin are supported their unique DNA. For 10 points, identify this organelle whose inner membrane folds into the cristae, in whose matrix the Krebs cycle occurs, and which is often referred to as the "powerhouse of the cell."
