What is one likely outcome if the mitochondria in a cell stopped working?

Answer 1

The mitochondria would stop releasing the energy in food and the cells would stop running. So basically it is just like the less active the cell is, the less energy it has, and the more mitochondria it needs.

Answer 2

Mitochondria is know as powerhouse of the cell. All the energy that we produce inside the cell is because of the mitochondria organelle. It follows oxidation of glucose in three steps to harness the energy into useable form from the food that we eat.

The three steps are

1) Glycolysis

2) Krebs Cycle and

3)Phosphorylation

Answer 3

If the mitochondria in a cell stopped working, the cell would not be able to produce enough energy in the form of ATP through aerobic respiration. As a result, the cell would likely switch to anaerobic respiration to produce some energy, but this would not be sustainable in the long term and could lead to cell death.

Answer 4

If the mitochondria stopes working then the cell wold not receive energy and die :(

Answer 5

Death. The mitochondria produce ATP (usually by breaking down glucose, or more accurately pyruvate), which is the form energy must be in for a cell to use that energy to do anything.
