What is the function of the outer membrane in mitochondria?
The outer membrane of mitochondria acts as a protective barrier, controlling the passage of molecules in and out of the organelle. It helps maintain the structural integrity of the mitochondria and plays a role in communication with other cellular components.
What are organelles that convert food into energy?
Mitochondria are organelles that convert food molecules into energy in the form of ATP through the process of cellular respiration. They are often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell due to their role in producing energy for cellular activities.
What organelles that release energy from molecules?
mitochondria
In the mitochondria break down food molecules which allows the food molecules to be used for energy?
In the mitochondria, food molecules are broken down through a series of metabolic processes, primarily cellular respiration. This process involves glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation, converting glucose and other substrates into ATP, the energy currency of the cell. By efficiently releasing energy stored in food molecules, mitochondria play a crucial role in powering cellular functions and maintaining overall energy balance in the organism.
Which organelle breaks down sugar molecules that supply energy to the cell?
mitochondria
Organelle where energy is released from broken down molecules?
mitochondria
Where are ATP molecules produced?
They are produced in the mitochondria of the cell.
What inside of a mitochondria?
Centre of mitochondria is called stroma.It contains ribosomes,enzymes,organic molecules,plasmids.
Where are you likely to find the enzyme cytochrome oxidases?
Cytochrome Oxidase are most likely to be found in mitochondria and important in cell respiration as an agent of electron transfer from certain cytochrome molecules to oxygen molecules
What is mitochondria role?
Its role is to energize the cell.It does that through respirastion
What is the role of hydrogen ion gradient used for in cellular respiration in the mitochondria?
The hydrogen ion gradient is used to drive ATP synthesis. 32 to 34 molecules of ATP are produced. The hydrogen ion gradient is the result of NADH in the electron transport system of the mitochondria.
What type of energy rich molecules are found in mitochondria?
ATP
