control release of energy from foods: from ATP

∙ 12y agoWell, the Krebs Cycle takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria (the fluid of the mitochondria) where Acetyl CoA is converted into a number of different molecules to produce Carbon and Hydrogen.
Also, the Cytochrome System takes place on the cristae of the mitochondria (the folds inside the mitochondria) where hydrogen is passed on to a number of hydrogen carriers. Each time the hydrogen molecule is passed on to another carrier, 1 ATP is produced.
So mitochondria generate hydrogen for the cytochrome system, and create ATP by passing that hydrogen along the cytochrome system.
Even clearer, they generate ATP, which is their role in respiration.

Does the Golgi body play a major role in protein synthesis?
No. The Golgi bodies do not have a role. The main organelles involed in protein synthesis are the nucleolis, ribosomes, and mitochondria.
What organelle supplies the energy to the cell?
Cells need energy to function and to fulfill this important role, cells have specialized organelles that provide the cell with energy. This specialized organelle is called a mitochondria.Mitochondria is the organelle that supplies energy to the cell. Mitochondria stores metabolites and degrades and recycles macro molecules.
Transport proteins play a role in both?
transport proteins play a role in both
How does mitochondria relate to photosynthesis and cellular respiration?
The Role of Mitochondria Cellular respiration is the process of oxidizing food molecules. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell.
What role does a cheese cloth play in DNA extraction?
It plays a role.
Does the Golgi body play a major role in protein synthesis?
No. The Golgi bodies do not have a role. The main organelles involed in protein synthesis are the nucleolis, ribosomes, and mitochondria.
Cell structures is not associated with the breakdown of harmful substances or substances that are no longer needed by the cell?
Mitochondria Lysomes, vacuoles, and peroxisomes play a role in the breakdown of substances that are no longer needed by the cell while the mitochondria does not. Mitochondria is used for the production of ATP.
What is mitochondria role?
Its role is to energize the cell.It does that through respirastion
Why most plant cells contain mitochondria as well?
Although chloroplasts are present inside plant to make food but mitochondria still play a vital role by providing energy required for the various activities of the cell.
Role of mitochondria and chloroplast in cellular transaction?
chloroplast involves in gene expression and mitochondria for energy synthesis.
Is mitochondria responsible for protein assembly?
Basic role of mitochondria is respiration not protein synthesis . Ribosomes synthesize proteins .
What does mitochondria do for the organism?
The mitochondria makes energy from sugar for the cell that is called ATP
What is the role of mitochondria in the syntheseis of molecules?
Mitochondria are the power house of the cells. Mitochondria produce ATP, molecules necessary for energy in every in every cell. Mitochondria are highly independent and seperate on their own on cell division.
What does mito in a cell do?
Mito, short for mitochondria, is responsible for energy production in cells through cellular respiration. It generates adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the molecule that supplies energy for various cellular processes. Additionally, mitochondria play a role in regulating cell metabolism, calcium signaling, and apoptosis (programmed cell death).
What is the role of ATP in energy production?
ATP fuels the mitochondria in energy production.
What organelle is called the powerhouse of the cell because of its role in cellular respiration?
The mitochondria.
What is the role of coenzyme a in a cell?
It converts acetic acid to a form that can enter the mitochondria.
