LIFE SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria: The cell city’s powerstation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration. All organisms respire in order to release energy to fuel their living processes. The respiration can be aerobic, which uses glucose and oxygen, or anaerobic which uses only glucose. Because this process occurs in all life, we call it a universal chemical process.

Detailed explanation-3: -The classic role of mitochondria is oxidative phosphorylation, which generates ATP by utilizing the energy released during the oxidation of the food we eat. ATP is used in turn as the primary energy source for most biochemical and physiological processes, such as growth, movement and homeostasis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria are the cell’s power stations; they transform the energy stored in nutrients so that cells can use it.
