What are the organelles functions?

The organelles within a cell have different specific functions from one another. The functions can range to a simple protection up to complex functions such as breaking down of sugar to be release as energy.


How is dizziness related to mitochondrial disorder?

The mitochrondria main function is to produce ATP. ATP is the currency of cells, with out this currency cell function slows down, then eventually can cease. Therefore, any disorder that leads to substantial reduction in ATP production cause lethal problem in the CNS, which needs a continuous supply of ATP. Cyanide poison works this way. it inhibit the electron transport system in the mitichondria, thus resulting death.


What goes into mitochondria that turns into ATP?

During cellular respiration, glucose and other nutrients are broken down in the mitochondria through a series of complex reactions that produce ATP. This process involves the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain. Ultimately, the energy stored in glucose is used to generate ATP, which is the main energy currency of the cell.


What does the miochondrion do in a cell?

The mitichondria in the cells make ATP, a vital chemical in the generation of energy. The Mitochondria are archaic bacterial cells, symbiotically joined very early in Earth's history. They have a separate existence and feed and respire by themselves. All of your mitochondria came from your Mother. They are not derived from your DNA.


How does ATP turn into ADP?

Through substrate level phosphorylation where a phosphate group is trasnferred directly from a high-energy moleculr to ADP by the action of an enzyme (demonstrated in glycolysis by pyruvate kinase and phosphoglycerate kinase enzymes); or through oxidative phosphorylation where a series of redox reactions generate a proton gradient that drives the production of ATP from ADP by ATP synthase (demonstrated by electron transport chains of mitochondria and chloroplasts).
