ATP ADENOSINE TRIPHOSPHATE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where is ATP formed in the cell?
A
mitochondria
B
nucleus
C
chloroplast
D
cytoplasm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In conclusion, the vast majority of the ATP produced from the oxidation of glucose in an animal cell is produced by chemiosmotic mechanisms in the mitochondrial membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -Abstract. Most of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesized during glucose metabolism is produced in the mitochondria through oxidative phosphorylation. This is a complex reaction powered by the proton gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane, which is generated by mitochondrial respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -ATP is also formed from the process of cellular respiration in the mitochondria of a cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -The electrons pass through different electron carrier complexes of ETS. Now H+ ions are released in the inner mitochondrial space. Now the H+ ions gradient is created across the inner membrane. ATP synthetase enzyme becomes active and ATP is synthesized.

Detailed explanation-5: -Definition. Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell’s biochemical reactions. Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
