Detailed explanation-1: -What will most likely be the result if all of the mitochondria are removed from a plant cell? It will be unable to carry out respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Posted October 18, 2022. Since eukaryotic cells require aerobic respiration to produce ATP, a lack of a mitochondria would mean the cell wouldn’t have the necessary energy to live. Therefore, the cell would most likely die due to very low or no energy levels.

Detailed explanation-3: -Without mitochondria (singular, mitochondrion), higher animals would likely not exist because their cells would only be able to obtain energy from anaerobic respiration (in the absence of oxygen), a process much less efficient than aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -When the mitochondria are defective, the cells do not have enough energy. The unused oxygen and fuel molecules build up in the cells and cause damage.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitochondria are essential components of nearly all cells in the body. These organelles are the powerhouses for cells, providing energy to carry out biochemical reactions and other cellular processes. Mitochondria make energy for cells from the chemical energy stored in the food we eat.
