The immeadiate source of energy used by the mitochondria is ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) which is cellular energy. First Glycolysis (the breaking down of glucose) becomes pyruvic acid after it's broken down. Then in the Krebs Cycle, the pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy extracting reactions. This later generates a high amount of NADH and FADH2 which are electron carriers. These electron carriers are then sent to the Electron Transport chain where it is used to convert ADP into ATP which the mitochondria then uses.
The energy is produced through an aerobic process called oxidative phosphorylation. About 60% of energy comes from fatty acids and triglycerides and 35% from carbohydrates. The remaining 5% is from amino acids and ketone bodies. The oxidation is supported by myoglobins that store oxygen in the muscle.
It already is an energy source.It already is an energy source.It already is an energy source.It already is an energy source.
no its a renewable source of energy
Yes, wind is a source of energy.
Oxidative phosphorylation is ATP synthesis driven by electron transfer to oxygen and photophosphorylation is ATP synthesis driven by light. Oxidative phosphorylation is the culmination of energy-yielding metabolism in aerobic organisms and photophosphorylation is the means by which photosynthetic organisms capture the energy of sunlight, the ultimate source of energy in the biosphere.
Electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation
The opposite of phosphorylation is dephosphorylation. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dephosphorylation
Both processes are run inside the human body in order to produce energy. Oxidative phosphorylation produces much more energy at a less of an expense than anaerobic glycolysis. It also has energy coming from multiple sources unlike anaerobic glycolysis which only comes from one source.
the proton-motive force across the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, is the most common source of energy in cells, and is created through phosphorylation. This can be photophosphorylation (as occurs in photosynthesis) or substrate level phosphorylation, or oxidative phosphorylation. ATP is created by adding a phosphate group to ADP (adenosine diphosphate), so the answer to your question would be that the energy is used to phosphorylate ADP, turning it into ATP.
When glucose is used as the energy source the largest amount of ATP is produced during complete oxidative respiration by utilizing the efficiencies of the electron transport chain. Other metabolic pathways like fermentation capture only a small fraction of potential energy compared to oxidative respiration.
Most probably it is the substrate-level phosphorylation.
The difference in H+ concentrations on opposite sides of the inner mitochondrial membrane. During oxidative phosphorylation, NADH and FADH oxidizes at the hydrogen carriers to provide electrons to the electron transport chain (etc) (chain of electron carriers) and H+ ions. As electrons pass through the etc, ATP is synthesized. If energy is ever needed along the process, ATP is used. But i doubt it as the electron do not require external chemical energy to move along the carriers.
Some jellyfish consume plankton while others prey on small fish and other marine animals. Either way the jellyfish extract nutrients from their food, including carbohydrates. These carbohydrates are then reacted with oxygen in a process called aerobic respiration, a process similar to combustion which is the basis of all animal metabolisms.

The mitochondria is the main site for Cellular Respiration, the process in which your cells convert sugars and oxygen into ATP, the universal energy. ATP is used throughout your entire body as a source of energy to perform its daily functions.
