What cell breaks down food molecules cell wast and worn out cell parts?
it's not the mitochondria, it's lysosomes. mitochondria is composed of proteins and enzymes.
Which of these organelles help plants get their energy?
A.ribosomes and mitochondria B. mitochondria and chloroplasts C. lysosomes and chloroplasts D. mitochondria and lysosomes
Is mitochondria bigger than a virus?
Lysosomes are smaller. The mitochondria vary from 0.5-10 micrometers in diameter. The size of lysosomes vary from 0.1-1.2 micrometers.
What breakdown food to produce energy?
lysosomes
What would happen if mitochondria had a structure like lysosomes?
The two have different functions. Mitochondria makes energy for the cell to function while lysosomes brake down unwanted materials. It is said that mitochondria are the power houses and lysosomes are the waste disposal system. They would maybe able to work with one inside the other. The lysosomes providing useful items to the mitochondria, but it didn't work out that way.
What organelle is digestion?
mitochondria

What organelle breaks down nutrients?
The organelle that breaks down nutrients is called mitochondria. Mitochondria are found in most eukaryotic cells in animals, plants and fungi.
Are mitochondria lysosomes and vacuoles organs?
They are not organs.They are cell organells.
What is the functional relationship between lysosomes and mitochondria?
Lysosomes and mitochondria have distinct functions in a cell, but they may indirectly interact with each other. Lysosomes primarily function in intracellular digestion and waste removal, breaking down cellular waste and debris. In contrast, mitochondria are responsible for energy production through cellular respiration. While there may not be a direct functional relationship between the two organelles, lysosomes can play a role in removing damaged or dysfunctional mitochondria through a process called autophagy.
Which cell from heart muscle would probably have an unusually high proportion?
its either lysosomes, mitochondria, mRNA, or Golgi bodies
Lysosomes may be thought of as?
Lysosomes are similar to customers.
What two organelles cannot be separated easily by centrifugation?
lysosomes and mitochondria
