What would happen if the cell didn't have a mitochondria?

Answer 1

Your cells would die. The mitochondria is the "power house" of the cell, it is what gives you energy. If a cell for some reason losses its mitochondria, itll be extremely weak and eventually die
All cells rely on a chemical called ATP (adenosine triphosphate) to provide energy for all cellular processes. The Mitochondria produce ATP through cellular respiration. Without the Mitochondria, sufficient ATP would not be produced. Without ATP, the cellular equipment in cells is insufficient to meet the conditions necessary to be considered alive. In short, the cell would die.
Since the mitochondria are an essential organelle in a cell, removing them would not be good at all. Mitochondria serve as the cell's power plant, and without them the cell would have no way to get its energy, and it would probably shut down.
The cell would quickly die out and so would the mitochondria. The mitochondria were probably free living aerobic bacteria and cells were anaerobic. At some point in time, the mitochondria were incorporated into the cell and both are endosymbiotic to each other, meaning the have a dependance on each other and cannot live without each other. The cell would die because a majority of previously available ATP would not be there anymore and the mitochondria would die because they no longer have a source of oxygen or glucose.
it would die because it would not be able to produce power.sine it is the power house.
it will die because it looses its energy and without energy the organelles inside of the cell won't be able to do its job or work.
If all mitochondria in an animal were to disappear the animal would cease to exist. They are responsible for the cell cycle. Without them cell division would cease to happen.

Answer 2

It would eventually die with no way to process energy. Mitochondria are used in respiration and without them the cell would eventually die. It could not continuously perform fermentation unless that is the typical function of the cell.

Answer 3

Firstly, cells have more than one mitochondrion.

If a cell did not have mitochondria, it would be unable to perform cellular respiration, which is what gives the cell energy. Therefore, without the mitochrondria, the cell would probably die.

The mitochondria are commonly thought of as the powerhouses of the cell. Just as a city would be unlikely to prosper without an energy source, the cell would die without mitochondria to keep it going.

Answer 4

Prokaryotic cells do not contain mitochondria - in these cells the process of oxidative phosphorylation (making ATP/energy) takes place across the plasma membrane. Therefore they would be unaffected.

In eukaryotic cells, the first stage of respiration, glycolysis, occurs in the cytoplasm. This process does not produce the same amount of ATP as the aerobic parts of the process - but it still creates some energy.

If eukaryotic cells lost their mitochondria, they would be much, much less efficient at creating ATP - and would most likely die.

Answer 5

if there were no mitochondria you weren't have energy to waste because the more mitochondria the more energy you have. but the less mitochondria the less energy you have to waste. so at the end the answer is only one: if there were no mitochondria there wouldn't be any amount of energy in the cell

Answer 6

there will be no acts as a "power house" of the cell.

Answer 7

Mitochondria in the plant cells are the power houses that drive all processes. It would not be able to make energy to survive and would die.

Answer 8

WE would die

Answer 9

it depends on the kind of cell
