Mitochondria
Mitochondria are eukariyotic cell organells.It is the site of aerobic respiration which generates energy stored in ATP's.They are also known as the power houses of the cell.
583 Questions
Why are neurons and muscle cells rich in mitochondria?
Those cells are metabolically very active. So a lot is found
Is the mid-piece of a sperm cell filled with mitochondria?
Of course it is filled with mitochondria. That is to provide energy for swimming.
Do mitochondria produce proteins?
Mitochondria do not produce proteins themselves, but they have their own genome and machinery to synthesize a few essential proteins. The majority of the proteins needed for mitochondrial function are produced in the cell's cytoplasm and then imported into the mitochondria.
When mitochondria do cellular respiration what do they release?
The main product is ATP. CO2 is also produced
Does mitochondria has folds or not?
yes they called cristae to increase the surface area to allow a faster output of ATP
It is important for electron transport chain. Inner membrane folds to create cristae
Why is pus from a blister clear but pus from an abscess white-yellow?
Clear blister fluid is not pus. It has no infectious cells. It's basically just lymph fluid.
What is the mitochondria and what is its purpose?
It is an eukariyotic organelle. It is responsible for respiration.
What are two differences in the structure and function of chloroplast and mitochondria?
Mitochondria is catabolic reactor. Chloroplasts conduct anabolic reactions.
It generates energy to cell.It conducts aerobic respiration.
Which term is a process that happens within the mitochondria as part od cellular respiration?
cellular respiration
Pneumonia
Is it true that mitochondria divide to make more mitochondria?
Yes it is true.It can replicate itself
Do plant Cells have mitochondria?
They do have mitochondria, though it is not as much of a power source for the plant - during the Daytime - , because chloroplasts do that job.
There are mitochondria in all plant and animal Cells; otherwise the Cells would not be able to respire aerobically - during the Nighttime - , and they would obtain very little Atp from each glucose molecule.
It is also found in the animal Cell, as well.
Are nearly all of the mitochondria in your cells were inherited from your mother?
All mitochondria are from mother.No mitochondria inherit from father
What do proteins in the mitochondria do?
They have several function. They may be structural,protective etc.
Do all cells have the same number of mitochondria and chloroplasts?
No, prokaryotic cells have none of either.
Why flight muscle cells in insects contain thousands of mitochondria?
Insect needs more energy to fly that's why we can see thousands of mitochondria present in an
Why is mitochondria found in muscle and brain cells than in skin and fat cells?
Muscles,brain are so active. They need energy greatly
Which step of cellular respiration can continue even if mitochondria are damaged?
Glycolisis, of course.
When skeletal muscles are working flat out not enough oxygen is being delivered to the ETC, so the mitochodria slows, or shuts down and all that produces ATP then is the glycolytic cycle.
What is the medical term meaning pus in the ureter?
Pyoureter is the medical term meaning pus in the ureter.
What animal has the most mitochondria?
The animal with the most cells in their body have the most mitochondria.
Oxygen is needed for respiration.It will be stopped
Do all plants and animals have mitochondria?
Yes all plants and animals have mitochondria because they have cells. Mitochondria helps the cells in animals and plants to produce energy that is essential for survival.
ATP is produced for use by cells
The electron transport chain causes the production of ATP.
ATP is being produced for cells by cells (APEX)
Electrons are flowing along a protein pathway to produce ATP.
OR ATP is being produced for use by cell
