What is a mitochondria function and how does this relate to its structure?

The mitochondria makes energy for a cell. It makes it from sugar, lipids, and protiens. The energy is ATP "Adenosine TriPhosphate" is has 3 phosphate groups. This energy can be used quickley, and when used one phosphate group is removed. This makes ADP "Adenosine DiPhosphate". The mitochondria kind of looks like a clam. It looks like a jelly bean with a wavy line in it. I probably said more than I needed to. I well!


Structures that perform energy releasing reactions?

Mitochondria are structures within cells that perform energy-releasing reactions through the process of cellular respiration. They convert nutrients into ATP, the cell's primary source of energy. The inner membrane of the mitochondria contains enzymes that carry out the various steps of this energy-releasing process.


A cell that requires a lot of energy might contain large numbers of what organelle?

Mitochondria, as they are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. Cells that require a lot of energy, such as muscle cells or neurons, will have higher concentrations of mitochondria to meet their energy demands.


What it call when the mitochondria in cells today are the descendants of aerobic prokaryotes that used oxygen to generate energy?

This phenomenon is known as endosymbiosis, specifically referring to the theory that mitochondria and chloroplasts originated from free-living aerobic prokaryotes that were engulfed by ancestral eukaryotic cells and established a symbiotic relationship.


What are the spaces between the grana in chloroplast called?

They are called stroma.

How did the eukaryote evolve?

Eukaryotes evolved from a process call endosymbiosis. Endosymbiosis states that eukaryotes started as two separate bacterium. The bigger bacteria engulfed the smaller. This is how the mitochondria is enclosed in the cell. There is evidence of this because the mitochondria has its on cell membrane and contains its own DNA.


What will you call a cell not having ERGolgi complexmitochondrianuclear membraneetc?

There are eukaryotic cells and prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells do not have a ER, golgo complex, mitochondria, or nuclear membrane. Most prokaryotes are unicellular.


What do you call the space between the thylakoids and the inner membrane of the chloroplast?

They are called thylakoid membranes.Light reaction takes place on them.
