It produces ATP, which is used by the cell for energy.
The mitochondria generate energy for the cell through a process called cellular respiration. This involves breaking down glucose into ATP, the cell's main energy source. The mitochondria have an inner and outer membrane that create separate compartments where different steps of cellular respiration occur.
Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria.
mechanism of energy production occurs in the reaction called oxidative phosphorylation which means the production of ATP can be stored in mitochondria hence it is the "power house of the cell"
The proton gradient set up by the electron transport chain causes mechanical rotation of ATP synthase, and this energy is used to form ATP
Mitochondria have their DNA and ribosomes, allowing them to produce some of their proteins independently of the cell. This ability is essential for maintaining mitochondrial function and adapting to changing cellular needs. It also provides a mechanism for mitochondria to control their own protein synthesis and quality.
Mitochondria in a restaurant
It is an organelle called the mitochondria
The singular of mitochondria is mitochondrion.
mitochondria
Mitochondria and Chloroplasts are involved in energy conversion.
Mosses belong to Plantae. So it have mitochondria
All mitochondria are from mother.No mitochondria inherit from father
