Because mitochondria synthesize, or produce ATP, which is a form of energy. If the mitochondria isn't working properly, then energy production will be affected, causing fatigue.

Which organelle would cause fatigue?

The mitochondria is the organelle that can cause fatigue. Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. If mitochondria are not functioning efficiently, it can lead to decreased energy production and result in fatigue.


A defect in which organelle would cause fatigue?

A defect in the mitochondria, which are responsible for generating energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), could lead to fatigue. Mitochondrial dysfunction can result in decreased energy production, affecting cellular processes that require energy, such as muscle contraction and nerve signal transmission, leading to fatigue.

What would happen if your mitochondria were abnormal?

Some people have this condition and their ATP production is impacted to differing degrees. The mitochondria supply the cell with the energy needed to do cellular work. A lesser amount of ATP and fatigue and all biochemical process needing the active energy of ATP would be impacted and possibly the person could not function long.


What would cause increased thirst and fatigue 2 months after gallbladder removal in a non-diabetic?

If you are noticing fatigue 2 months after gallbladder removal, it is possible that your pancreas is making up for lost time. Symptoms of diabetes can include excessive thirst and fatigue.


In what way would having many mitochondria be beneficial to muscle cells?

Having many mitochondria in muscle cells allows for more energy production through aerobic respiration, which is essential for providing the energy needed for muscle contractions during activities like exercise or movement. This high energy production capacity helps to prevent muscle fatigue and allows for sustained muscle activity over longer periods of time.


Can fatigue cause death?

Fatigue by itself is a sign, a symptom. In and of itself, ordinary fatigue would not be seen as a life threatening condition. However the cause of the fatigue is another matter. There could be an underlying condition in some cases that is life threatening and this could only be clarified by physicians. Also, ordinary fatigue can be and is routinely implicated in accidental deaths during the operation of machinery or automobiles, or while engaging in otherwise dangerous or very exacting activities like skiing, diving, climbing.


What would happen if someone lost their mitochondria and why would they lose it?

you cant lose your mitochondria but if you could you would die


What would cause cracks to occur in the exhaust manifold of an aircraft?

I can think of two factors that would cause manifold cracks. One is the constant heating (expansion) and cooling (contraction) of the manifold, and the second is the vibration. These two factors both result in metal fatigue and are the likely cause of most failures. Perhaps there are experts in metal fatigue out there who would like to weigh in with a more informed response. == I've had some experience with Fatigue, but I'm no expert. I would not expect the manifold to fail due to fatigue as that implies it is under cyclic loading. The heat cycles can be a factor but that is a thermal problem and not a loading problem. I would expect that it has to do with heat cycles and rapid cooling due to something like rain hitting the exhaust. Custermen


Would a Roman soldier defect?

That's not very likely. Roman soldiers were trained to be loyal to the end. They would rather die nobly than defect. There would be some who would defect, though, since there are always exceptions to every rule.


Is dilantin a possible cause of fatigue?

Fatigue is not a known (reported) side effect of Dilantin. But, insomnia is a known side effect. And, if you're suffering from insomnia, that in itself would cause fatigue. If you go to http://www.rxlist.com and look up "Dilantin" you can see the list of all the side effects. Another good source of information on Rx drugs is http://www.fda.gov.
