Mitochondria produce chemical energy, in the form of Adenosine triphosphate or ATP.

∙ 12y agoThe mitochondrion is enclosed by two membranes, each a phospholipid bilayer with a unique collection of embedded proteins (a certain type is called ATP synthase; this is where most of the output energized ATP molecules are produced). The other membrane is smooth, but the inner membrane is convoluted, with infoldings called cristae. The inner membrane divides the mitochondrion into two internal compartments. The first is the intermembrane space, the narrow region between the inner and outer membranes. The second compartment, the mitochondrial matrix, is enclosed by the inner membrane. The matrix contains many different enzymes as well as the mitochondrial DNA and ribosomes. Enzymes in the matrix catalyze some steps of cellular respiration. Other proteins that function in respiration, including the enzyme that makes ATP, are built into the inner membrane, As highly folded surfaces, the cristae give the inner mitochondrial membrane a large surface area, thus enhancing the productivity of cellular respiration.
To summarize, after the glucose is broken into two smaller molecules in the cytosol during glycolosis, these products are broken down inside the mitochondria (to put it extremely simply), and the energy is used to create a proton gradient in the intermembrane space between the inner/outer mitochondrial membranes, and these pass through the ATP synthase protein into the inner mitochondrial membrane. The protein phosphorylates ADP to create ATP, which is released into the cell to do work.

Energy produced in mitochondria is stored in a substance called what?
Do you mean "WHAT is the substance called, where energy produced by the mitochondria, is stored?"ATP is produced by the mitochondria and it is stored there too.
Where is ATP produced in cell?
ATP is produced in the mitochondria by the process of cellular respiration.
The energy producing parts of animal cells are the?
What part of the animal cell is responsible for energy production?
Do plants have mitochondria?
Yes.Plants also need energy.This energy is produced in mitochondria
What organelle supplies the energy to the cell?
Cells need energy to function and to fulfill this important role, cells have specialized organelles that provide the cell with energy. This specialized organelle is called a mitochondria.Mitochondria is the organelle that supplies energy to the cell. Mitochondria stores metabolites and degrades and recycles macro molecules.
Energy produced in mitochondria is stored in a substance called what?
Do you mean "WHAT is the substance called, where energy produced by the mitochondria, is stored?"ATP is produced by the mitochondria and it is stored there too.
Where is ATP produced in cell?
ATP is produced in the mitochondria by the process of cellular respiration.
Where is most of the energy produced in cellular respiration?
most of the energy is produced in mitochondria.
What is the energy producer for animal cells?
Energy is produced in animal cells by organelles called mitochondria.
What produces energy for the animal cell?
Energy is produced in animal cells by organelles called mitochondria.
Energy is produce in organelles called?
Energy is produced in organelles called mitochondria. The mitochondria creates energy in the form of ATP. The mitochondria can move, change shape, and divide of its own accord.
The energy producing parts of animal cells are the?
What part of the animal cell is responsible for energy production?
Where is energy produced in cells?
In mitochondria.
Where is energy produced in the cell?
Mitochondria
Where the energy is produced cell?
Mitochondria
Where is the energy and ATP produced?
In an aerobic organism, ATP molecules are produced by the mitochondria through a process called oxidative phosphorylation
What is the energy of the energy molecule of the cell called?
ATP is the engergy molecule used through out the body for energy. It is produced in the mitochondria of the cell.
