Oxygen in your air is inhaled by our body and then transported to the lung for purification. Again, oxygen is distributed to the different tissue and organs of our body by RBC blood cells. Once oxygen is delivered to a particular tissue, cells barier plasma membrane is permeable to oxygen and allow to diffuse inside cell. Once inside the cell, it crosses the mitochondrial membrane and participate in mitochondrial respiration.

Does glucose enter cells through cell membrane or mitochondria?

Glucose is diffused through facilitated diffusion in the cell membrane. It is oxidised by glycolysis in the cytoplasm and then the products either go through the mitochondria if oxygen is present or goes through fermentation in the cytosoplasm if no oxygen.


What determines where energy production will continue into the mitochondria?

The presence of oxygen. Oxygen is needed for mitochondria


Which cellular organelle uses oxygen and glucose to provide energy?

The mitochondria is the organelle that uses oxygen and glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP through a process called cellular respiration.


What is bigger a oxygen molecule or a mitochondria?

A mitochondrion is much larger than an oxygen molecule. Mitochondria are organelles found within cells that generate energy, while an oxygen molecule is a diatomic molecule composed of two oxygen atoms.


What cell structure needs oxygen to do its job?

In order for cellular respiration to take place, mitochondria must have oxygen. Mitochondria are the building blocks of the cell, and the cell cannot survive without it.


Cyanide is a poison that prevents mitochondria from using oxygen. As a result the mitochondria would not be able to perform?

Oxygen is needed for respiration.It will be stopped


Does mitochondria gives off oxygen?

No it utilizes oxygen.Given off gas is CO2.


Is the mitochondria used for anaerobic respiration?

Yes. The mitochondria produces ATP by oxidizing the major products of glucose, pyruvate, and NADH in the presence of oxygen. Because oxygen is required, it is known as aerobic respiration. (anaerobic = no oxygen)


In a cell the site of oxygen utilization is the?

The site of oxygen utilization in a cell is the mitochondria. Within the mitochondria, oxygen is used in the process of cellular respiration to generate energy in the form of ATP through the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation.


How do you Use the following words in a sentence oxygen ATP breathing and mitochondria?

By breathing oxygen, humans create more ATP so that their mitochondria do not fail.


Where in your body is oxygen use?

In the mitochondria of your cells.


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.
