NEET BIOLOGY

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: -An ATP synthetase enzyme similar to that of the mitochondria is present, but on the outside of the thylakoid membrane. Passage of protons (H+) through it from inside to outside generates ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -ATP synthesized in mitochondria is the primary energy source for important biological functions, such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and protein synthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The mitochondria produce the majority of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) produced during glucose metabolism through oxidative phosphorylation. The proton gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane, which is created by mitochondrial respiration, drives this complex mechanism.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitochondria are essential components of nearly all cells in the body. These organelles are the powerhouses for cells, providing energy to carry out biochemical reactions and other cellular processes. Mitochondria make energy for cells from the chemical energy stored in the food we eat.
