NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell’s biochemical reactions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondria play a critical role in the generation of metabolic energy in eukaryotic cells. As reviewed in Chapter 2, they are responsible for most of the useful energy derived from the breakdown of carbohydrates and fatty acids, which is converted to ATP by the process of oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The two forms that play an important role in mitochondria function are T3 and T2. T3 is often called “active” thyroid hormone because it’s necessary for the function of every cell within the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria is responsible for the production of energy in the cell. Mitochondria is also known as the powerhouse of the cell. It has a double membrane-bound structure. They are found inside the cytoplasm of the cell and synthesize energy in the form of ATP molecules.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitochondria interact with the endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes, cytoskeleton, peroxisomes, and nucleus in several ways, ranging from signal transduction, vesicle transport, and membrane contact sites, to regulate energy metabolism, biosynthetic processes, apoptosis, and cell turnover.
