The mitochondria is the source of energy for the cell. Food comes in and is reduced by the mitochondria into ATP, the energy for the cell. Food goes through glycolysis, then Kreb's cycle, then the electron transport chain. If this confuses you, look in your Biology textbook. Close to 36 ATP is produced through every cycle of cellular respiration, which is the process that mitochondria execute. In summary, mitochondria execute cellular respiration, the process of the creation of ATP, or cellular energy, by glycolysis, Kreb's cycle, and the electron transport chain.
Mitochondria are found in most plant and animal cells.
It is present in both
It is found in the sperm cell which means it an animal cell as us humans are animals.
Absolutely. The mitochondria are the basic energy creating organelles for the cell. Without them, the cell would die. A plant cell could probably survive off its chloroplasts, but its definently not a given.
That would be the organelle named Mitochondria.
Mitochondria is found in plant cells.
A cell wall and mitochondria are in a plant cell, but not in an animal cell.
yes both animal and plant cells have mitochondria
The mitochondria produce energy for the cell's various functions.
Yes, both the animal cell and plant cell have a mitochondira
Mitochondria are found in most plant and animal cells.
Mitochondria is in both animal cells, and plant cells. The mitochondria is the part of the cell that is like the small power house in the animal/plant cell.
because the plant cell contains the mitochondria in order for the plant to be green
They are in both. Both need mitochondria to respire
It is present in both
Animal Cells do have Mitochondria, as it is essential for respiration.
Yes, both plant and animal cells have mitochondria.
