GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell because it is responsible for the extracting energy from food through cellular respiration. The energy is released in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-2: -Proton Gradients Produce Most of the Cell’s ATP Oxidative phosphorylation also produces 1.5 ATP molecules per electron pair from FADH2, or from the NADH molecules produced by glycolysis in the cytosol.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria 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).

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
