The correct option is
C Outer membrane with fewer mitochondria
The correct option is C
Explanation of correct option:
- A mitoplast is a mitochondrion that has had its outer membrane removed but not its inner membrane.
- Mitoplasts can be used to examine mitochondrial function electrophysiologically. Patch-clamp electrophysiology, in particular, has developed as a unique tool for examining the inner mitochondrial membrane's functioning.
- A mitoplast is a mitochondrion that has had its outer membrane removed but has retained its inner membrane and matrix. In this technique, biochemical fractionation using detergents like digitonin is employed.
Final answer: Mitoplast is the outer membrane with fewer mitochondria.
