What part of the cell is a major site of ATP synthesis and is scattered throughout the cell?

In a cell that is respiring aerobically (i.e. using oxygen), the mitochondria are the site of most ATP production.They are scattered through the cytoplasm, but tend to concentrate where the cell requires energy.


How does the Oxygen get from the interstitial fluid to the inside of the cell?

Oxygen diffuses from the interstitial fluid into the cell through the cell membrane. This process occurs due to a concentration gradient, where oxygen moves from an area of higher concentration (interstitial fluid) to an area of lower concentration (inside the cell). Once inside the cell, oxygen is used in cellular respiration to produce energy.


What is the powerhouse of a cell site of cellular respiration?

The powerhouse of a cell is the mitochondria, where cellular respiration takes place. Mitochondria produce energy in the form of ATP through a series of biochemical reactions involving oxygen and nutrients like glucose.


Is excess oxygen a problem for cell growth?

Yes, excess oxygen can lead to the formation of reactive oxygen species, which can damage macromolecules within the cell like DNA, proteins, and lipids. This can in turn inhibit cell growth and lead to cell death.


What is the cell part where oxygen can pass?

All particles trying to get into the cell must get through the cell membrane. The cell membrane is selectively permeable, which means that it can select what goes in and what goes out. The structure of a cell membrane is called a lipid bilayer, which is two layers of phospholipids.
