What else can I help you with?
Which pair of molecules is used by the mitochodrion?
Pyruvate and O2
Where in the cell is the citric acid cycles?
It takes place in the matrix of the mitochodrion.
What is the function for the mitochodrion?
The mitochondrion is the site of aerobic cellular respiration.
In a cell what reases energy stored in food?
mitochodrion of the cell is responsible for the ATP production in cell which is energy currency for the humans.
What is the space in the middle of mitochodrion called?
The space in the middle of a mitochondrion is called the mitochondrial matrix. It contains enzymes involved in the Krebs cycle, as well as mitochondrial DNA and ribosomes. The matrix plays a crucial role in energy production through cellular respiration.
Most cellular life processes occur here?
Most cellular life processes occur in the cytoplasm of a cell. This includes protein synthesis, energy production, and various other metabolic reactions necessary for the cell's survival. The cytoplasm serves as the medium where these processes take place.
What part of the cell is responsible for production of energy for cellular processes in humans?
The mitochondria is responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through a process called cellular respiration in human cells. This organelle converts nutrients into usable energy to power various cellular processes.
How do cells without mitochodrion get energy?
Most eukaryotic cells -- those that contain nuclei -- also contain mitochondria, but there are exceptions to this rule. Some parasitic protists take energy from their hosts and do not have mitochondria. In humans, mature red blood cells lack mitochondria nor do they have any organelles. The RBCs die after 120 days because of this. They can't make energy.
What does Mitochodrion do?
Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, responsible for generating energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through a process called cellular respiration. They also play a role in regulating cell metabolism, calcium homeostasis, and apoptosis (cell death). Mitochondria have their own DNA and replicate independently of the cell, suggesting their origin from ancient bacteria.
What is an organelle that enables a plant to produce its own food?
Chloroplasts are the organelles in plant cells that enable them to produce their own food through the process of photosynthesis. Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, a pigment that captures sunlight and converts it into energy that drives the photosynthetic reactions.
What does mitochodrion mean?
The term "mitochondrion" refers to membrane-bound organelles found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. They are often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell due to their role in generating adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main energy source for cellular activities. Mitochondria contain their own DNA and are involved in processes such as cellular respiration and apoptosis.
DO plants and animals compare and contrast?
Both plants and animals are Eukaryotes, meaning they have a membrane bound nucleus and other membrane-enclosed organelles. Both plants and animals have a nucleus or a central comand center, smooth endoplasmic reteculum, where lipids are synthesised, and a rough endoplasmic reticulum with ribosomes, where proteins are synthesised. They both have a Golgi apparatus which is like the loading and receiving docks of products of the cell, lipids and proteins, and a mitochodrion (mitochodria)where cellular respiration takes place, and a cytoskeleton and plasma membrane which makes up the protection of the cell. Only plants have a cell wall, central vacuole, and chloroplast, which is where photosynthesis takes place. most plant cells do not have Lysosomes, which break down or eat cell parts that are no longer functioning properly, and centriole which help in cell division.
