NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cells that need a lot of energy, like muscle cells, can contain thousands of mitochondria. Mitochondria are tiny organelles inside cells that are involved in releasing energy from food. This process is known as cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -In order to create more ATP, our mitochondria go through a series of chemical reactions to break down our food, particularly glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids.

Detailed explanation-3: -Our mitochondria take our glucose molecules through a process called cellular respiration which is essentially just a process of breaking down and converting glucose by combining oxygen with a glucose molecule.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -At the inner mitochondrial membrane, a high energy electron is passed along an electron transport chain. The energy released pumps hydrogen out of the matrix space. The gradient created by this drives hydrogen back through the membrane, through ATP synthase.
