The oxidative stage, in the presence of oxygen, where larger molecules are broken down into smaller molecules and energy is released. This is true for the Krebs cycle, beta-oxidation of fatty acids, etc. Also, a lot of free radicals are generated inside the mitochondria, which go on to attack biomolecules.

∙ 11y ago- Structure of Mitochondria
Mitochondria have a double-layered wrapper with an outer and inner membrane. The outer membrane is responsible for the exit and entry of the material. The inner membrane is folded to form extensions called cristae, which provide a large surface area for the attachment of structure called stalked particles. The stalked particles contain several enzymes which are responsible for the synthesis of ATP molecule. The remainder of the mitochondrion is made up of matrix, a semirigid material containing protein and lipids.
Link reaction, or pyruvate decarboxylation, takes place exclusively inside the mitochondrial matrix. Link reaction is common in most organisms as a link between glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. Glycolysis is the process in which sugar glucose is changed to pyruvate. In this stage, the pyruvate molecule obtained from glycolysis is decomposed so that its stored energy may become available to the Cell.
The Krebs cycle, or the citric acid cycle, is of central importance in all living cells, especially those that use oxygen as a part of cellular respiration. The cycle occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria. The Krebs cycle is involved in the conversion of carbohydrate, fats and proteins into carbon dioxide and water to generate a form of usable energy.
Oxidative phosphorylation, or the electron transport chain, occurs in the mitochondrial cristae. In mitochondria, the electron transport chain is the conversion of oxygen to water. It comprises an enzymatic series of electron donor and acceptors. Each electron donor passes an electron to an acceptor. The acceptor, in turn, donates these electrons to another acceptor, a process that continues down the series, releasing energy.

Where are the instructions for producing enzymes located at which part of the CELL1. the genome of the cell2. the cytoplasm of the cell 3. the ribosomes of the cell or 4. the mitochondria of the cell?
mitochondria
Mitochondria and chloroplasts?
1)Mitochondria occur in the cells of aerobic organisms with the exception of mammalian RBCs while Chloroplasts occur in the cells of green photosynthetic parts of plants. 2)Mitochondria is colourless while Chloroplasts is green in colour. 3) Mitochondria's shape is rod-like or sausage-shaped while Chloroplasts are generally disc-like in outline. 4) Mitochondria liberate energy while Chloroplasts trap solar energy and convert it into chemical energy. 5) Mitochondria perform oxidation of food while Chloroplasts synthesize food by photosynthesis. 6) Mitochondria consumes O2 and liberate CO2 while Chloroplasts consumes CO2 and liberate O2.
Where in the body cells does respiration take place?
Respiration can be split into 3 main processes, Glycolysis, Krebs cycle (Tricarboxylic Acid / Citrate Acid Cycle) and the Electron Transport Chain. Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. Krebs cycle takes place in the mitochondrial matrix (the inner part of the mitochondria) Electron Transport Chain takes place in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
What does mitochondria and chloroplasts?
It is theorized that those are the two organelles that took part in the endosymbiotic theory. This is because they both have their own DNA, divide separately from the cell, and look very similar to bacterias. According to the theory, they were once free living organisms that started a mutualism with an early eukaryotic cell, and they've been inseparable ever since.
Compare the functions of chloroplasts and mitochondria?
Mitochondria is where cellular respiration takes place and where most energy in the form of ATP is generated. Chloroplasts convert sunlight energy into chemical energy stored in sugar molecules. Mitochondria uses chemical energy; chloroplasts use light energy.
What are the four stage of respiration?
The four stages are : 1) Glycolysis 2) Formation of acetyle CoA (in the mitochondria) 3) Citric acid cycle (in mitochondria) 4) Electron transport and chemiosmosis (in mitochondria)
How many total stages are part of the cell cycle?
3
