Anabolic processes - Can provide energy to build up macromolecules from their components, for example DNA replication, protein synthesis and polysaccharide synthesis. Movement - It can provide energy for cellular movement such as muscle contractions, ciliary actions and spindle action in cell division. Active transport (AT) - Can provide energy to allow materials to move against a concentration gradient. Reactivity of chemicals - Makes chemicals more reactive an example would be phosphorylation in the glycolysis stage of cellular respiation. Secretion - It is used to form vesicles in cells, these are vital for the secretion of unwanted products. The liver would have a high amount of mitochondria because there is a huge number of biochemical reactions taking place. According to the 1961 Peter Mitchell theory of chemi-osmotic It is the energy of these highly charged membranes that synthesize ATP. The mitochondra perform the Krebs cycle.
The mitochondria uses ATP for cellular respiration.
breaks the bond between the second and third phosphate group of ATP, which releases energy the cell can use to do work.
It acts as the supplement of energy for the cell. That's why its called the "Energy Currency of the Cell".
Mitochondria use the sugar glucose to change ADP into ATP. ATP is what produces energy the cell needs.
Adenosine triphosphate (or ATP) is a molecule that a cell uses to extract and store energy from other molecules such as carbohydrates.
In the first phase of glycolysis, the cell uses 2 ATP molecules. Then during the process of glycolysis, the cell produces 4 ATP molecules, making the net gain at 2 ATP molecules.

ATP
a large protein that uses energy from H+ ions to bind ADP and a phosphate group together to produce ATP.
a large protein that uses energy from H+ ions to bind ADP and a phosphate group together to produce ATP.
Mitochondria use rich organic compounds, glucose, to produce ATP.
ATP releases a phosphate group and becomes ADP ATP = ADP + P + energy.
