What organelle would you find abundantly in a cell that burns energy?
it is the mitochondria because its function is to produce energy by cellular respiration .
Why is cellular respiration an aerobic respiration?
Because cellular respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen.
What is the power house in cell?
The power house in a cell is the mitochondria. Mitochondria generate most of the cell's energy by converting nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through a process called cellular respiration. ATP is the main source of energy for cellular activities.
How is mitochondria like a powerhouse?
the mitochondria is like a powerhouse because it produces energy for the entire cell
Which organelles is the powerhouse of the cell and why?
The mitochondria is often described as the powerhouses of the cells. This is because cellular respiration takes place on the cristae and matrix of this structure, providing ATP and energy for the cell and organism.
Why are the mitochondria called the powerhouse?
Because they produce the glucose for the cell. Meaning that they produce the food for the cell making it sort of a powerhouse sort organelle.
Why does cellular respiration depend on photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration needs glucose. Glucose is produced by photosynthesis
Why are mitochondria called the the powerhouse of the cell?
The energy currency of the cell (ATP) is produced in the mitochondria during aerobic respiration and therefore "powers" the cell's activities.
What organelle works like the muscular system?
The Mitochondria because they both act like a powerhouse.
What is the process that does the opposite to photosynthesis?
Cellular respiration, because it releases the energy stored in carbon bonds by photosynthesis, and recombines carbon into carbon dioxide.
Why mitochondria called powerhouse of the cell?
Because they power up cells. They do it through respiration
Is cellular respiration exergonic or endergonic?
Cellular respiration, or aerobic cellular respiration, is exergonic because energy is released from the breakdown of glucose and therefore the products have less energy then the starting substance.
