Energy Transducers Mitochondria and chloroplasts are organelles that are the energy source for the cell, the energy converted by these organelles are needed by the eukaryotic cell in order for it to perform it’s various functions. The mitochondria and chloroplasts grow and divide without the aid of the nucleus to increase their abundance within the cell. Mitochondrion Mitochondria (see figure A) provide the energy a cell needs to move ... membrane-bound organelles, and like the nucleus have a double membrane. The outer membrane is fairly smooth. But the inner membrane is highly convoluted, forming folds called cristae. The cristae greatly increase the inner membrane's surface area.

The scientific evidence is called into question based on this, making the research inadmissible in determining the sexual orientation based on INAH-3 samples. Based on LeVay’s studies, the scientific community does not have evidence. Contradicting evidence is found when scientists and laboratories each measure the INAH-3 differently. LeVay measured the volume while others measure the neutrons. “Clarifying a potential ...
