Play an AI-generated podcast conversation about this lesson

Which of the following is true about the outer mitochondrial membrane?

It does not contain any enzymes

It allows molecules of any size to freely diffuse

It is thicker than the eukaryotic plasma membrane

It contains integral membrane proteins called porins (correct)

What is the main function of the porins in the outer mitochondrial membrane?

To degrade tryptophan

To allow molecules of any size to freely diffuse (correct)

To actively move large proteins across the membrane

To elongate fatty acids

How do larger proteins enter the mitochondrion?

They freely diffuse through the outer mitochondrial membrane

They bind to translocase of the outer membrane

They actively move across the membrane through porins

They are transported by specialized translocate complexes (correct)
