Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -A. Mitochondria break down sugar molecules and produce energy in the form of molecules of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria convert chemical energy, in the form of a chemical called adenosine triphosphate or ATP for short. ATP is an energy currency that every cell in our body can use.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -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).
