NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Most of the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesized during glucose metabolism is produced in the mitochondria through oxidative phosphorylation. This is a complex reaction powered by the proton gradient across the mitochondrial inner membrane, which is generated by mitochondrial respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondria have an important role in cellular respiration through the production of ATP, using chemical energy found in glucose and other nutrients.

Detailed explanation-3: -Epithelial cells have many mitochondria because these cells have high levels of energy output and require the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) produced by the mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell’s biochemical reactions. Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
