Mitochondria are the primary energy factories in eukaryotic cells. Mitochondria allow the cells to generate ATP through a process called oxidative phosphorylation, which uses electron transport chains to pump out around 32 molecules of ATP per molecule of glucose.

∙ 15y agoThe mitochondria breaks down glucose into ATP (stored energy). The ATP is then broken down into ADP and releases energy for your cells. Therefore you function as a human being!

Wiki User
∙ 12y agothey are important because they give power to the our body lots of power
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoIt is the power house of the cell.It generates the energy needed for cell.

Aerobic respiration occurs in of eukaryotic cells?
mitochondria
Does mitochondria happen with animal cells?
Mitochondria, the energy producing organelle located inside a eurkaryotic cell is indeed found in animals. Animal cells(which are eukaryotic cells) are made up of a variety of organelles such as mitochondria, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, and of coarse the nucleus. If animals didn't have mitochondria in their cellls, they wouldn't be able to breathe, exercise, watch t.v. or post answers on wikianswers.com :) Without energy you would be a piece of limp cells and tissues lacking nutrients or any proper nourishments. You would simply be dead. We animals need energy to live, let alone carry out the common activities that can be done in a daily routine. MITOCHONDRIA ARE IMPORTANT FOR SURVIVAL!!!!!!!!!! So your answer is yes, mitochondria can be found inside animals.
Why are parietal cells acidophilic?
Parietal cells are acidophilic because they contain a large number of mitochondria. The mitochondria, which are needed to pump hydrogen ions against their concentration gradient, are acidophilic; therefore, parietal cells are acidophilic as well.
To manufacture proteins all cells also contain?
Mitochondria
Where in a cell does protein synthesis take place?
In cells protein is made when the cells mate and then the synthesis takes place. It takes place in the mitochondria.
What are two important ways that muscle cells differ from cheek cells?
It has more mitochondria.
Why are mitochondria important to life?
because they make energy in all cells
Why is the mitochondria important to the fat cell?
Mitochondria is important to all cells. It produces energy for the cell. It's like a battery in a flashlight. If you did not have the battery,no light.
What do mitochondria do in a amimal cell?
It's a very important organelle in cells because the mitochondria is what makes the energy for the cell. :D
What is the Importance of the Mitochondria?
it is important because you need it so that your body can function right.
DO prokaryotic cells have mitochondria?
No.. only eukaryotic cells have mitochondria...
Do prokaryotic cells have a cell wall?
Prokaryotic cells are cells without a nucleus , and other important cells such as the Golgi body, endoplasmic reticulum, and the mitochondria
What does the mitocondion do?
Mitochondria are organelles in the cytoplasm of cells that function in energy production.
Why is the nucleus and mitochondria important in cells?
The nucleus holds information, the mitochondria supply energy.
What Cells do not have have Nuclei or Mitochondria?
Red blood cells do not have nuclei or mitochondria.
Do snakes have a mitochondria?
yes snake CELLS do have a mitochondria, and the cells are inside the snake so technically the snake does have a mitochondria.
Do amoeba have mitochondria?
Amoeba are eukariyotic cells.So they have mitochondria.
