What two organelles cannot be separated easily by centrifugation?
lysosomes and mitochondria
Would an animal cell be able to survive without mitochondria?
No, mitochondria convert the sugar into the chemical currency a cell can use called ATP If there is another way to produce energy. If they are respiring anaerobically,they do not need mitochondria
Do mitochondria have plasmids?
No. Plasmids are used for cell replication, and cannot be a fraction of something that a fraction of a cell.
How do the red blood cells produce energy without mitochondria?
The way, functional red blood cells produce energy is by fermentation, via anaerobic glycolysis of glucose followed by lactic acid production. As the cells do not own any protein coding DNA they cannot produce new structural or repair proteins or enzymes and their lifespan is limited.
What types of cell are mitochondria found?
Eukaryotic cells have mitochondria (singular mitochondrion).
Mitochondria can not produce?
no it cannot
How does Danube Cyanide Spill poison animals?
Cyanide acts at the level of the cell mitochondria (the cell's energy factory) to stop the utilization of oxygen in the formation of energy (adenotriphosphates - ATP). Without this energy (ATP), cells cannot function and ultimately die. Cyanide has the same effect in humans... you can die of cyanide poisoning.
How do you make sodium cyanide from sodium chloride?
You cannot do so.
When animal cell uses the chemical energy stored in sugar molecules which organelle or organelles must the oxygen reach?
The oxygen must reach the mitochondria in the animal cell. The mitochondria is responsible for aerobic respiration, which uses oxygen to break down sugar molecules and produce chemical energy in the form of ATP. Without oxygen, the mitochondria cannot generate energy efficiently.
Which compound cannot cross the inner membrane of mitochondria?
pyruvate
What do you mean by cold blooded and warm blooded?
Warm-blooded and cold-blooded refers to animals that produce their own body heat and do not produce their own body heat, respectively. On a micro biologic level, certain mitochondria within all warmblooded animals are 'defective', in a manner of speaking, in that one of the methods normal mitochondria store energy is by creating a chemical charge across a membrane, and in these specific mitochondria, the membrane is porous. To move the chemicals across the membrane, the mitochondria expend energy, or ATP, which produces heat. Since the membrane is porous, and cannot hold a charge, the chemical pumps run constantly, using energy at a consistent rate, and producing heat. Warm-blooded animals have these mitochondria, and thus produce their own body heat. Humans are one example. Cold-blooded animals do not have these mitochondria, or if they do, have them in such small amounts that they cannot heat the animal's body sufficiently. Snakes and lizards are cold-blooded, which is why they can often be found in warm spots, basking in the heat of the sun.
Does mitochondria get rid of waste?
The function of mitochondria is to provide energy for the cells to continue doing their function so it cannot get rid of waste
Do mitochondria produce food from sunlight?
No, mitochondria are not photoreactive. It is the chlorophyll in chloroplasts that allows them to use light energy. Mitochondria do not have anything in them to do this. Instead, they make energy by breaking apart glucose.They use light energy indirectly.They use glucose as the fuel. Glucose contain energy from sun light
What two organelles cannot be separated easily by centrifugation?
lysosomes and mitochondria
Do babies have brown fat?
yes babies have brown fat. For non shivering thermogenesis.Babies cannot shiver to produce heat which they compensate for with their brown fat that has a huge amount of mitochondria. This enables them to generate heat internally.
How much ATP can be produced without mitochondria?
Yes, Mitochondria make up to 80% of our atp, without it we cannot survive, but it doesnt mean it is the only source of atp.
How many mitochondria is in the world?
Cannot say a exact number.There are billions and billions of them
