MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The mitochondrion performs most cellular oxidations and produces the bulk of the animal cell’s ATP. The mitochondrial matrix contains a large variety of enzymes, including those that convert pyruvate and fatty acids to acetyl CoA and those that oxidize this acetyl CoA to CO2through the citric acid cycle.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Hence, the two powerhouses of plant cells, chloroplasts and mitochondria, coordinate to generate adequate ATP in plants to meet energy demands of various anabolic processes (Khlyntseva et al., 2009).
