Mitochondria do not "eat" in the traditional sense, as they are not organisms that consume food. Instead, they generate energy by metabolizing nutrients, primarily glucose and fatty acids, through processes like cellular respiration. This process involves breaking down these nutrients to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which serves as the energy currency of the cell. Mitochondria rely on the cell to supply them with the necessary substrates for energy production.
What else can I help you with?
What in the mitochondria break down food molecules?
Mitochondria use glucose as fuel.So food we eat converted to glucose.
What is considered to be the power-house of the cell?
The powerhouse of the cells is known as mitochondria, an organelle that is involved in the ATP-producing process. ATP is the source of energy for your whole body, and therefore your cells contain mitochondria to essentially power the cell.
Does mosses have a mitochondria?
Mosses belong to Plantae. So it have mitochondria
How do you use mitochondria in a help wanted ad?
Mitochondria help the body with all of it's metabolic reactions. In a help wanted ad, the mitochondria might be holding up a sign asking someone to eat healthy and take vitamins that support metabolism.
Are nearly all of the mitochondria in your cells were inherited from your mother?
All mitochondria are from mother.No mitochondria inherit from father
How do you make energy mitochondria with reaction?
I WILL MAKE ENERGY MITOCHONDRIA WITH REACTION: steps: You will get some igit eat it..
How do animal cells get the sugars that mitochondria?
They get from food. That is why they should eat
Why do plant cells contain both cholorplasts and mitochondria?
because plant cells are weaker than animal cells. they cant eat with a fork so need to eat using mitochondria
What cell provides cell energy?
the food that we eat, it goes to the mitochondria where it is broken down into energy.
What in the mitochondria break down food molecules?
Mitochondria use glucose as fuel.So food we eat converted to glucose.

What is the cell's power plant?
It is an organelle called the mitochondria
What is the singular of mitochondria?
The singular of mitochondria is mitochondrion.
What does a Mitochondria do in a animal and plant cell?
Synthesizes ATP, the energy molecule used to do all cellular work, out of the food you eat and the plant makes.
What organelle is responsible for converting food into energy?
Mitochondria and Chloroplasts are involved in energy conversion.
