The inner membrane of the mitochondria is very folded and convoluted. This provides increased surface area for increased reaction rate. In Biology, the faster the reaction rate, the better. Therefore, many processes have evolved traits that allow for increased surface area.
Most ATPs (~36) in cell respiration are produced through oxidative phosphorylation in the Electron Transport Chain and chemiosmosis. Both the ETC and ATP synthase (provides for chemiosmosis) are part of the inner mitochondrial membrane. More surface area in the membrane means more ATPs.
What else can I help you with?
Which cellular structure is responsible for the production of ATP in eukaryotic cells?
The mitochondria of the cell produce ATP. In plant cells, the chloroplast would make ATP and in human cells the mitochondria produces the ATP.
What is the role of ATP in energy production?
ATP fuels the mitochondria in energy production.
Production of atp occurs within which organelle?
ATP is produced within the mitochondria of the cell through a process called cellular respiration. The mitochondria is often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell due to its role in generating energy in the form of ATP.
What organelle is involved in ATP production?
mitochondria
What is the site for production of ATP in a cell?
The primary site for ATP production is the mitochondria. There are a few ATP produced in the cytosol as a result of the Kreb cycle, but those are very few compared to those produced in the mitochondria.
Do mitochondoria and choloroplast have ATP?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts have ATP because they allow the production of ATP within them.
Mitochondria differ from chloroplasts in that mitochondria?
Mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration, producing ATP for the cell, whereas chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy for the plant. Mitochondria have a double membrane structure, while chloroplasts have a triple membrane structure. Mitochondria contain cristae to increase surface area for ATP production, while chloroplasts have thylakoid membranes for the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis.
What happens after proton pumps in mitochondria have depleted electrons of their energy during ATP production?
After the protons pumps in the mitochondria that have depleted the electrons of the energy the ATP production will reduce.
What are mitochondria the site of?
Chemical energy production in the form of ATP
What cell organelle carries out the production of ATP from electron energy?
ATP is produced in the mitochondria.
What organelles is involved in a ATP production?
ATP is primarily produced in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells through a process called cellular respiration. The key organelles involved in ATP production are the inner membrane of the mitochondria where the electron transport chain is located, and the matrix of the mitochondria where the Krebs cycle occurs.
What is the organelle that function is cell respiration and production of ATP?
mitochondria
