mechanism of energy production occurs in the reaction called oxidative phosphorylation which means the production of ATP can be stored in mitochondria hence it is the "power house of the cell"

Mitochondria prokaryotic or eukaryotic?

Mitochondria are considered to be eukaryotic organelles. They have their own DNA and ribosomes, and are thought to have evolved from engulfed prokaryotic cells in a symbiotic relationship with eukaryotic cells.


What the mitochondria does in the cell?

Mitochondria provide the energy required for processes that occur in the cell such as respiration.


Does fermentation occur in mitochondria of cells?

No, fermentation occurs in the cytoplasm outside the mitochondria.


Why do some cells have more mitochodria?

Cells such as liver cells, sperm cells and muscle cells have more mitochondria. This is because they are more metabolically active and need a plentiful supply of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for metabolic processes. For example, many chemical processes occur in liver cells and sperm cells are known for movement.


Where does cellular respiration and production of ATP occur?

Cellular respiration and production of ATP occur in the mitochondria of cells. This organelle is responsible for converting nutrients from food into ATP, which is the main energy source for cellular processes.


What process produces a lot of heat in mammalian cells?

The process that produces a lot of heat in mammalian cells is metabolism, specifically the metabolic reactions that occur in the mitochondria. These reactions produce energy in the form of ATP, with a byproduct being heat. Brown adipose tissue also plays a role in heat production in mammals through a process called non-shivering thermogenesis.


Compare contrast the chloraplast with mitochondria?

1)Mitochondria occur in the cells of aerobic organisms with the exception of mammalian RBCs while Chloroplasts occur in the cells of green photosynthetic parts of plants. 2)Mitochondria is colourless while Chloroplasts is green in colour. 3) Mitochondria's shape is rod-like or sausage-shaped while Chloroplasts are generally disc-like in outline. 4) Mitochondria liberate energy while Chloroplasts trap solar energy and convert it into chemical energy. 5) Mitochondria perform oxidation of food while Chloroplasts synthesize food by photosynthesis. 6) Mitochondria consumes O2 and liberate CO2 while Chloroplasts consumes CO2 and liberate O2.


Compare functions of chloroplast and mitochondria?
