- which combine with co enzymes
3
Q
What are the adaptations of the Mitochondria
A
**Smooth outer membrane **
- Easy movement around the cell
**Permeable outer membrane **
- Allow oxygen and pyruvic acid to enter the mitochondria
Inner membrane folded
- Increase surface area for respiration **
DNA and RNA
- To manufacture enzymes
