Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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: -Mitochondria – The organelle in the cells of eukaryotes that produces ATP. Chloroplast – The organelle in plant cells that, in addition to mitochondria, produces ATP through photosynthesis.
