The main function of the mitochondrion is the production of energy, in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The cell uses this energy to perform the specific work necessary for cell survival and function. The raw materials used to generate ATP are the foods that we eat, or tissues within the body that are broken down in a process called catabolism. The breaking down of food into simpler molecules such as carbohydrates, fats, and protein is called metabolism. These molecules are then transferred into the mitochondria, where further processing occurs. The reactions within the mitochondria produce specific molecules that can have their electrical charges separated within the inner mitochondrial membrane. These charged molecules are processed within the five electron transport chain complexes to finally combine with oxygen to make ATP. The process of the charged substances combining with oxygen is called oxidation, while the chemical reaction making ATP is called phosphorylation. The overall process is called oxidative phosphorylation. The product produced by this process is ATP. Since Eukaryotic cells usually belong to complex beings, they need a mitochondria to help it with these functions
i think its absorption:)
--- there is evidence that suggests that the first eukaryotes did not develop mitochondria. They acquired it by engulfing an aerobic prokaryote. As a result, all eukaryotes either have mitochondria or are directly linked to ancestors that had it.
Almost all eukaryotes have mitochondria but only some cells have chloroplasts
it occurs in chloroplasts and mitochondria as well.
Mitochondrions; individually known as mitochondria.
energy release and capture
A eukaryote is an organism containing eukaryotic cells, meaning cells with membrane bound organelles, such as the nucleus or mitochondria. Humans, trees, fish, and dragon flies all fall into the category of eukaryotes. Bacteria and single celled microorganisms from the Archaea domain are the only organisms that do not fall into the category of eukaryotes; everything else is a eukaryote.
No, there are some eukaryotic protists that don't have mitochondria.
Yes, Mitochondria are specific to eukaryotes.
Almost all eukaryotes have mitochondria but only some cells have chloroplasts
yes.may have exceptions.
Yes. Mitochondria are responsible for cellular respiration in all eukaryotes.
Endosymbiosisis the process that caused mitochondria and plastids to form eukaryotes. One larger engulfs a minuscule prokaryote and turns it into eukaryotes.
all body cells, as they cause respiration Eukaryotes.
Of course they have. They are only in eukariyotes
Yes it is an organelle.It is only in eukaryotes.
Mitochondria is a membrane bound organell.It is found only in eukaryotes.
They have mitochondria for bio energy purposes so yes, they do.
They use mesomes, which are bits where the cell membrane is away from the cell wall. All prokaryotes use mesomes and all eukaryotes use mitochondria
