What do mitochondria do in liver cells?
Mitochondria in liver cells are responsible for generating energy through a process called oxidative phosphorylation. They help produce ATP, which is the main source of energy for cellular functions in the liver. Mitochondria also play a role in the metabolism of fatty acids and detoxification processes in liver cells.
The rate of aerobic respiration in the mitochondria is dependent on the surface area of the cristae because energy potential is built up through the pumping of hydrogen ions across the membrane. With more membrane surface area, there is more energy production and storage capacity so the rate of aerobic respiration may increase.
What chemical reaction that occurs during mitochondria?
I think you are asking about the respiration reaction
Glucose + oxygen ---> carbon dioxide + water
C6H1206 + 6 O2 ---> 6 CO2 + 6 H2O (balanced equation)
What in the mitochondria break down food molecules?
Mitochondria use glucose as fuel.So food we eat converted to glucose.
How are mitochondria and chloroplast linked?
Chloroplasts and mitochondria both create ATP. Chloroplasts use sunlight, glucose, and carbon dioxide to create ATP, and the process also creates oxygen. Mitochondria use oxygen and glucose to create ATP, and the process creates carbon dioxide. Plant cells contain both chloroplasts and mitochondria, but animal cells contain only mitochondria.
Are mitochondria and bacteria the same size?
0.5 micrometers = 0.0005 millimeters Bacteria Escherichia coli cells, an "average" sized bacterium, are about 2 micrometres (μm) long and 0.5 μm in diameter, Mitochondrion (plural mitochondria) Mitochondrion=0.5-10 micrometers (μm) in diameter.
Which is the most likely function of a group of cells that contain a high number of mitochondria?
Which is the most likely function of a group of cells that contains a high number of mitochondrian
Are the mitochondria and chloroplast?
In plant cells, the chloroplast is an organelle that performs photosynthesis, and
he mitochondria is an organelle that produces ATP (energy).
A cell organelle in which protein is made?
Ribosomes are the cell organelles responsible for protein synthesis. They can be found either floating freely in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. Ribosomes read messenger RNA and assemble amino acids into proteins based on the genetic information.
What part of mitochondria is the electron transport chain located?
In the mitochondria, the electron carriers are embedded in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion.
Which has more mitochondria a muscle cell or a skin cell?
I would say the muscle because they need a lot of ATPs (which mitochondria produces) in order to make the sacromere contract. Nerve cell would also need a lot of mitochondria because it needs to constantly send signals to all different directions using sodium-potassium pump which requires the use of ATPs.
Nerve cells use glucose as a primary source of fuel, so would have less mitochondria....cells which use fatty acids- and therefore Beta oxidation which can only take place in the mitochondria, are less likely to have a lot of mitochondria
What would most likely happen to a cell if is mitochondria were not functioning properly?
Cell will not get the energy for doing its required function.In case of unicellular organisms it will not get the energy for doing any function since, mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
What are Crista inside of the mitochondria?
it is the internal compound formed by the inner membrane of a mitochondria. It is studded with protiens including ATP synthesis and a variety of cytochrome's
Why is there a double membrane around both a chloroplast and mitochondria?
To have somewhere to make the proton gradient in. The H+ have stored electric potential energy inside the proton gradient, and that energy is used to synthesize ATP from ADP and Pi when they pass through ATPase to the other side of the proton gradient where they acquire a low energy state.
What is the evidence that mitochondria and chloroplasts are semiautnomous oranelles?
Two pertinent pieces. One is the genetic material kept on round form in these organelles that still codes for a few proteins, The other pertinent evidence is the means of reproduction of these organelles; they preform cellular fission, just as bacteria would.
What are three molecules inside mitochondria?
They generate ATP molecules.ATPs are universal currency of energy.
What object functions like a mitochondria?
The Battery of a Car or a battery that you use in your Wii Remote!
Are mitochondria found in plants cells animals cells or both?
Both animal and plant cells have mitochondria.
ATP is pumped out of the mitochondrion and into the cytosol, while ADP and Pi are pumped from the cytosol into the mitochondrion
What is the function of mitochondria?
Mitochondria provide energy for the cell. They are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they provide the location for the production of ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate). ATP is produced by aerobic respiration such as glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and electron transport. ATP in turn provides energy for the cell at the molecular level. They convert energy from food molecules into energy the cell can use.
What cell's function is to make energy and is shaped like an oval?
mitochondrion (singular)
mitochondria (plural)
Which cells contain the mitochondria organelle plant cells animal cells or both?
It is in both plant and animal cells. It is needed for aerobic respiration
Why ribosomes are of 70s in mitochondria of eukaryotic cell?
Prokaryotes have 70S ribosomes, each consisting of a small (30S) and a large (50S) subunit.
