DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria have an important role in cellular respiration through the production of ATP, using chemical energy found in glucose and other nutrients. Mitochondria are also responsible for generating clusters of iron and sulfur, which are important cofactors of many enzymes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondria play a critical role in the generation of metabolic energy in eukaryotic cells. As reviewed in Chapter 2, they are responsible for most of the useful energy derived from the breakdown of carbohydrates and fatty acids, which is converted to ATP by the process of oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anaerobic respiration is always present inside the mitochondria that are energy sources of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). In anaerobic metabolism glycolysis generates only 4 ATP. Further fermentation generates two more ATP so alternatives generate maximum 6 to 8 ATP.
