Part A
In the past 50 years, medical research has focused on the role of mitochondrial oxidative stress (MOS) as the trigger in many diseases as well as the aging process. Choose the true statement(s) about mitochondria and MOS. To be marked correct, you'll need to select all true statements, as there may be more than one correct answer.
View Available Hint(s)
Diseases associated with aging that may be influenced by the mitochondria include Parkinson's, cancer, atherosclerotic cardiac disease, and Type 2 Diabetes.
The use of antibiotics such as penicillin has proved effective in reducing ROS in mitochondria and thus reducing damage in tissues, which may lead to physiological effects in the cell.

The unique features of mitochondria that may explain the role of this organelle in disease processes and aging is the fact that it has its own DNA, mtDNA, in the form of a circular chromosome as do bacteria. The frequency of mutations in DNA may lead to physiological effects in the cell.
