OK i did a whole lesson on this OK these notes are exactly from a teacher who taught since 2002. Mitochondria is "power house" and it converts energy in food molecules and it Carry's out it's function. Or converts food and energy into usable energy for the cells. This is the BEST answer for your 8 grade science teacher. Water(h2o)+Carbon dioxide(o2) yield (arrow) h2o+co2(oxygen)+ ATP(type of energy) ATP combines o2 with glucose (C6H12O6) use that formula for glucose do not I repeat do NOT write sugar.

What molecule is used as cells as an energy source?
ATP (adenosine triphosphate), or ultimately it would be glucose.
Use your own words to summarize the production of ATP in the mitochondria?
The energy currency for the work that animals must do is the energy rich molecule ATP. The ATP is produced in the mitochondria using energy stored in food.
How do cells get engry?
a cell gets energy from the mitochondria when it use the glucose and the mitochondria changes it into energy
How do cells store and use energy?
they store energy in ATP and use it when the triphosphate bonds are broken
Which organelle turns food into the type of energy that cells can use?
Mitochondria is the organelle that turns food into energy.
What molecule does the cell actually use for energy?
the mitochondria
Which structures break down food and release energy?
Mitochondria break down food and release energy.
What is the organic molecule that stores and releases chemical energy for use in body cells called?
mitochondria
What molecule is used as cells as an energy source?
ATP (adenosine triphosphate), or ultimately it would be glucose.
Use your own words to summarize the production of ATP in the mitochondria?
The energy currency for the work that animals must do is the energy rich molecule ATP. The ATP is produced in the mitochondria using energy stored in food.
Rod-shaped bodies that release energy for cell use?
mitochondria
What form do mitochondria's release their energy?
The form ATP's which the cells use.
What are rod -shaped bodies that release energy for cell use?
mitochondria
What are rod-shaped bodies that release energy for cell use?
mitochondria
How cells store energy and release energy?
Cells store and release energy through the use of the mitochondria, an organelle contained within it.
What molecule is made by mitochondria that provides power to the cell?
The molecule made by mitochondria that provides power to cells is adenosine triphosphate, also known as ATP.
Is mitochondria an organelle that burns a cell's food for energy?
Kind of. But it does a lot more than burn it. If we just burnt food we would get a big release of energy instantly. Instead mitochondria produce a chemical called ATP which we use for energy. Each molecule of glucose you eat produces 36 molecules of ATP.
