MITOCHONDRIA

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The mitochondria take food particles and combine them with:
A
Hydrogen
B
Oxygen
C
Nitrogen
D
Carbon Dioxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria convert simple particles of nutrients into energy charged particles. These charged particles combine with oxygen to produce molecules of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). This process is called ‘oxidative phosphorylation’.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Mitochondria are special compartments (organelles) in our cells that are best known for their role as powerhouses, as they breakdown food molecules and turn out ATP, a molecular fuel for the rest of the cell.
