Mitochondria are the "energy factories" of our cells. They produce a large amount of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through two aerobic processes: the Krebs Cycle and the ETC (electron transport chain)
The mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, where cellular respiration occurs. This process generates ATP, the cell's main source of energy, through the breakdown of glucose and other nutrients. Additionally, mitochondria play a role in regulating cell metabolism, calcium signaling, and programmed cell death.
Microvilli increase the surface area of the cell membrane, allowing for more transport proteins to be present to facilitate active transport of molecules against their concentration gradient. Mitochondria provide the energy in the form of ATP needed to power the active transport process.
The mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell and are responsible for generating energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through a process called cellular respiration. They also play a role in regulating cell metabolism, calcium signaling, and cell growth and death.
The Krebs cycle takes place in the matrix of the mitochondrion.
It depends on the organism and cell type. I will assume you mean the human and all cells in general. In this case generally, it is the production of ATP for use. Yes, creating ATP takes energy, and copious amount of it. The biggest problem is the leakage of H+ ion from the intermembrane space into the matrix, which the H+ pumps must constantly work against. This process creates heat, which is inefficient and also one reason why humans are warm-blooded.
mitrochondria
In the mitrochondria!
yes
kidney
Out, because it "makes" water (by burning hydrogen).
mitrochondria is responsible for protein synthesis in cell
Cells that require a lot of energy for daily activities, such as muscle cells.
Yes it does. A heterotroph has a mitrochondria because it is needed to break down glucose to get ATP
Mitochondria produces energy by breaking down ATP into ADP.
ATP (converted to ADP). Aerobically it is converted back by mitrochondria by oxidizing hydrogen.
The mitochondria looks like the size of a Lima bean inside its cell. So imagine the cell as the size of your hand, then picture a Lima bean in your hand. That is approximately the size of the mitochondria inside the cell (your hand).
Yes, in fact only a very small minority of cells lack these organelles. Mitochondria are vital in respiration, to release energy. Nerve cells require energy to send impulses throughout the body.
