What else can I help you with?
What does a mitochondrion do for a cell?
generate cell's supply of ATP as a source of chemical energy
What part of salt helps regulate energy moving in and out of the cell?
The sodium-potassium pump is responsible for regulating energy moving in and out of the cell by maintaining the concentration gradients of sodium and potassium ions across the cell membrane. Sodium ions are pumped out of the cell while potassium ions are pumped in, creating an electrochemical gradient that helps cells generate energy and conduct electrical signals.
What is the part of a cell that creates energy?
Organelles called mitochondria generate energy.
What do mitochondria do in a eukaryotic cell?
They are the power houses.They generate energy.
What are three substances that can generate electrical energy?
Three substances that can generate electrical energy are copper, zinc, and sulfuric acid in a galvanic cell battery setup.
What is a catabolic pathway in which organic molecules are broken down to release energy for use by the cell?
Glycolysis is a catabolic pathway in which glucose is broken down in the cytoplasm of the cell to produce ATP and NADH. This process is the first step in cellular respiration and helps generate energy for the cell to use in various metabolic processes.
What is the job for mitochondria?
Oxidative phosphorylation occurs within the mitochondria which releases energy (in the form of ATP) for the cell. They generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is used by the cells to make energy. It is because mitochondria provide energy that they are known as the "powerhouses of the cell"
What is the term of the ability of the cell to transform nutrients into energy?
Mitochondria generate the cell's energy by the process of oxidative phosphorylation, utilizing oxygen to release energy stored in cellular nutrients
What if your cell must use energy to get this energy why?
Cells, like humans, cannot generate energy without locating a source in their environment.
How is respiration useful?
Respiration is essential for living organisms as it is the process through which cells generate energy by converting glucose and oxygen into ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell. It also helps in releasing carbon dioxide, a waste product, from the body.
Why are mitochondria sometimes called powerhouses of a cell?
we recently had a bio test in our school in which the same question was aked so the right answer was as follows..........mitochondria does the cellular respiration that's why its called the power house of the cell......................
What is the role of an activated carrier in cellular metabolism and how does it facilitate the transfer of energy within the cell?
Activated carriers play a crucial role in cellular metabolism by transferring energy and molecules within the cell. They act as "shuttles" that carry high-energy electrons or chemical groups from one reaction to another, facilitating the transfer of energy. This process helps cells generate ATP, the main energy currency of the cell, and drive various metabolic pathways essential for cell function and survival.
