What is the evidence for endosymbiotic hypothesis?
The endosymbiotic hypothesis postulates that an early eukaryotic cells lacking mitochondria and chloroplasts phagocytosed early aerobic prokaryotes and photosynthetic prokaryotes and rather than
Electron transfer systems concentrate energy that is then used to generate ATP in?
aerobic respiration,photosynthesis and mitochondria
What two mechanisms are used to generate ATP from glucose to muscle cells?
Glycolosis (in the cytoplasm) and aerobic metabolism (in the mitochondria) are used to generate ATP from glucose in muscle cells.
Cells that need large amounts of ATP would have many?
A high number of mitochondria. These are the organelles used in the process of aerobic respiration.
What is the site of aerobic cellular respiration?
The site of aerobic respiration is in the mitochondria of the cell. The three stages of aerobic respiration are glycolysis, kerb Cycle, and electron transport chain.
How do mitochondria generate energy?
Mitochondria generate energy through the process of aerobic cellular respiration.
What are mitochondria the descendants of?
She suggested that michondria and chloroplasts are descendents of prokaryotic endosymbionts.
Did mitochondria evolved from engulfed prokaryotes?
Yes,they were evolved from bacteria.They were aerobic bacteria.
Many scientists think that early aerobic prokaryotes invaded larger cells and eventually gave rise to?
mitochondria

Glycolosis (in the cytoplasm) and aerobic metabolism (in the mitochondria) are used to generate ATP from glucose in muscle cells.
Why are mitochondria know as the batteries of the cell?
They generate ATP through aerobic respiration.So energy need for cellular activites is produced by mitochondrias.
What is Mitochondria are descendants of?
Mitochondria are thought to be descendants of ancient free-living bacteria that were engulfed by a host cell through endosymbiosis. Over time, the host and the endosymbiont developed a symbiotic relationship, with the host providing protection and nutrients while the endosymbiont provided energy in the form of ATP through aerobic respiration. This symbiosis eventually led to the evolution of eukaryotic cells, including our own.
Why are mitochondria considered the power house of animals cells?
Because they produce energy.That is through aerobic respiration
Are mitochondria involved in aerobic respiration?
Mitochondria are involved in aerobic respiration.They oxidize glucose and produce ATP.
Why RBC are not able to carry out aerobic respiration?
Because RBCs have no mitochondria, and mitochondria is necessary for aerobic respiration.
