GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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. In cellular respiration sugar with the help of oxygen is broken down into ATP (energy molecule).

Detailed explanation-2: -In the mitochondria, the metabolism of sugars is completed, and the energy released is harnessed so efficiently that about 30 molecules of ATP are produced for each molecule of glucose oxidized. By contrast, only 2 molecules of ATP are produced per glucose molecule by glycolysis alone.

Detailed explanation-3: -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: -A. Mitochondria break down sugar molecules and produce energy in the form of molecules of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-5: -Yes, in mitochondria breakdown of glucose takes place to provide energy to the body. Therefore in cellular respiration or glycolysis, mitochondria use glucose with the release of ATP, which provides energy to the body.
