What is the function of mitochrondia?
Cellular respiration. It produces ATP, which is the power source for cells.
How do drown?
plants drown because their roots have mitochrondia (in them which supply the plant with energy to survive) that need air which they take from the air spaces in the soil. If there are no air spaces the plant cannot obtain oxygen and they 'drown'.
How is the mitochondria of a cell like a engine?
bc the mitochrondia is also known as the power house of the cell and the power plant powers everything
What does the respiration do?
Respiration is the production of energy in mitochrondia inside cells. In order to respire, cells need Glucose and Oxygen. The waste products are Water and Carbon Dioxcide. Glucose + Oxygen --------- Carbon Dioxcide+ Water energy
Stored energy is released in mitochrondia?
Mitochondria provide eukaryotic cells with energy. Mitochondria are the power house of the cell, their energy is made by combining the sugar-like substance called cristae and oxygen, creating ATP.
The power house of the cell?
The powerhouse of the cell is the mitochondria. Mitochondria are organelles responsible for producing most of the cell's energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through a process called cellular respiration.
Why would a battery represent mitochrondia?
Pumping protons through the mitochondrian membrane creates a gradient, just like in batteries, where electrons get transferred to different molecules and eventually ending up in ATP. It would be a representation because the membrane charges up (one side is positive and the other, negative) just like in a battery.
Where is ATPase enzyme needed for muscle contraction located?
It is in the mitochodria and speeds up the formation of ATP by breaking down ATP into ADP + energy. Muscle cells have many more mitochrondia than other cells.
What organelle is responsible for a newborn distinctive toes and fingers instead of webbed digits?
The mitochondria - its membrane becomes permeable, allowing cytochrome c and other factors to leak into the cytosol allowing apoptosis to occur (killing the "cells between the toes"basically).cc
Can you drown a plant?
It depends on the plant if it is heavy it will sink but not drown if it is light it will float
What type of carbohydrate is fructose?
yes. no..it is a sugar! Complex Carbohydrates are made up of two or more simple sugars linked together. The following carbohydrates are disaccharides. Disaccharides are compounds that contain a bond between carbon(1) of one sugar and a hydroxyl group at any position on the other sugar. Sucrose is a disaccharide that yields 1 equiv of glucose and 1 equiv of fructose on acidic hydrolysis.
How is mitochondria related to ATP energy?
Mitochondria are often called the "powerhouse of the cell" because they produce ATP from sugar and other organic molecules. The name means "thread bodies" about the same size as a bacterium. They have two membranes with the inner membrane folded to form partial partitions in the cavity. The enzymes needed for cellular respiration are found in the mitochondria of the cell. They are found in all eukaryotic cells. ATP is important for a variety of functions, such as active transport, muscle contraction and protein synthesis. Although ATP is used for transferring energy, it isn't good storing large amounts of energy for extended periods of time.
