NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -This process occurs along the inner membrane of your mitochondria. Inside your mitochondria, the cell’s energy producing organelle, there is a membrane. That membrane is called the inner mitochondrial membrane and it’s important.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the mitochondria, cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondrial matrix through the Krebs cycle to form ATP, FADH2 and NADH. The formed FADH2 and NADH then go into the inner mitochondrial membrane where they are involved in the electron transport chain to form more ATP molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles present in the cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells. They are responsible for producing Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main energy currency of the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria are semi-autonomous organelles that are descendants of endosymbiotic bacteria. Mitochondria play a pivotal role in cellular energy production through the mitochondria-housed pathways of citric acid cycle, fatty acid oxidation, respiration and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS).

Detailed explanation-5: -What cells have the most mitochondria? A. Your heart muscle cells – with about 5, 000 mitochondria per cell. These cells need more energy, so they contain more mitochondria than any other organ in the body!
