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.


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.

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)
