NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria play host to one of the most important processes in your body, called cellular respiration. Taking in glucose and oxygen, mitochondria produce energy, which they capture and package as energy-rich molecules of ATP.

Detailed explanation-2: -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: -The principal end-products of this oxidation are CO2, which is released from the cell as waste, and NADH, which is the main source of electrons for transport along the respiratory chain-the name given to the electron-transport chain in mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria produce energy through the process of cellular respiration. The mitochondria take food molecules in the form of carbohydrates and combine them with oxygen to produce the ATP. They use proteins called enzymes to produce the correct chemical reaction.

Detailed explanation-5: -While most aerobic respiration (with oxygen) takes place in the cell’s mitochondria, and anaerobic respiration (without oxygen) takes place within the cell’s cytoplasm.
