Question

students were asked to draw a model of a mitochondrion. the diagrams below represent two students’ drawings. 23. which model best represents a mitochondrion and why? 1 point structure 1 has more surface area, which produces more proteins structure 1 has more surface area, which produces more energy. structure 2 has more surface area, which produces more proteins structure 2 has more surface area, which produces more energy.

Explanation:

Mitochondria have folded inner - membranes (cristae) to increase surface area for energy - producing reactions. Structure 2 has more folds.

Answer:

Structure 2 has more surface area, which produces more energy.
