What is the energy producing organelle in a plant?
The Mitochondria is the main energy producing organelle. it sends ATP to the other organelles
What organelle is most likely to be altered in oxidative phosphorylation disorders?
Mitochondria.The mitochondria.
Which cell organelle is responsible for producing most of the ATP within an organism?
The organelle which produces Adenosine Tri-Phosphate in both plants and animals is the mitochondrion or, more accurately, mitochondria because there are usually many of them in each cell. In plants, the other organelle which produces its own ATP from sunlight is the Chloroplast.
Which organelle is responsible for performing cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is carried out by plants to break down glucose for energy. The equation for respiration is C6H12O6 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O. Respiration takes place in the mitochondria organelle.
What is the definition of mitochondria?
An organelle found in most eukaryotic cells, containing enzymes for respiration and energy production Mitochondria (often referred to as "The Mighty Mitochondria") are the power supply for the body. They produce energy compounds that assist the body in completing the tasks it must in order to properly function.
What is the energy producing organelle in a plant?
The Mitochondria is the main energy producing organelle. it sends ATP to the other organelles
What organelle is most numerous inside a muscle?
mitochondria
What organelle produces most of the ATP used by a cell?
Mitochondria
What organelle is the site for where the most energy obtained from carbohydrates?
mitochondria
What organelle produces most of the energy that is released during respiration?
The last two phases of cellular respiration, the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain, take place in the mitochondria. This is the organelle where most of the ATP (energy) from respiration is released.
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.
What organelle would you expect to find most often in muscles?
MITOCHONDRIA
Why is mitochondria is power cell?
Mitochondria create most of the energy in a cell therefore being the 'power house' organelle of the cell.
Which organelle is primarily responsible for building the molecule that stores energy?
The mitochondria produces most of the energy inside a cell.
What organelle is most likely to be altered in oxidative phosphorylation disorders?
Mitochondria.The mitochondria.
What organelle produces the most atp?
Mitochondria. Their surplus is used by the rest of the cell.
What organelle is most abundant in the sperm cell?
Mitochondria. It takes a lot of energy to swim as far as they have to.
