What has the same function as the mitochondria?

Answer 1

In eukaryotic cells the electron transfer chain of cellular respiration occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria however, prokaryotic cells lack a mitochondria and the electron transfer chain therefore occurs in the plasma membrane of the cell. One must remember that in prokaryotes 38 ATP are produced during cellular respiration. In eukaryotes 36 ATP are produced due to the loss of two ATP while traversing acrosst the mitochondrial membrane.

Answer 2

Chloroplasts in plant cells have a similar function to mitochondria. They are responsible for converting sunlight into energy through the process of photosynthesis. Both organelles play a crucial role in producing energy for the cell in different ways.

Answer 3

you can compare mitochondrion to a car batery because without a batery in a car you can't start the car just like without mitochondria cells wouldn't have the energy to survive

Answer 4

an engine
