24 8 Yeast is a single-celled organism that can respire aerobically. Mitochondria are the sites of aerobic respiration in yeast cells. (a) The diagram shows a mitochondrion. P R Q S (i) Which labelled component in the diagram is the site of the Krebs cycle? (1) A P B Q C R D S (ii) Which labelled component in the diagram is the site of oxidative phosphorylation? (1) A P B Q C R D S (iii) Yeast cells can have many small mitochondria. Calculate the magnification of the diagram if the maximum length of the mitochondrion is 0.5 µm. (2) Answer .............................................................. Turn over 25 (b) (i) Name two molecules needed for aerobic respiration that can move into the mitochondria.
