GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Because the energy to drive ATP synthesis in mitochondria ultimately derives from the oxidative breakdown of food molecules, the phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP that is driven by electron transport in the mitochondrion is known as oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich molecules for the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria: the energy converters Mitochondria, using oxygen available within the cell convert chemical energy from food in the cell to energy in a form usable to the host cell. The process is called oxidative phosphorylation and it happens inside mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-4: -How do mitochondria convert energy? The machinery that the mitochondria use to convert energy is called the electron transport chain. Mitochondria convert chemical energy, in the form of a chemical called adenosine triphosphate or ATP for short. ATP is an energy currency that every cell in our body can use.

Detailed explanation-5: -Much in the same way as your digestive system, mitochondria are like small digestive systems in your cell, turning food into energy. Sugars, fats, and amino acids from proteins that we eat are converted into energy through the mitochondria.
