014: What for ATP stands for? Which organelle is the power plant of eukaryoúc cell? Write in brief its
function
Answers
Answer:
(i) ATP - Adenosine Triphosphate.
(ii) mitochondria is the power plant of eukaryotic cells.
Explanation:
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. The biochemical processes of the cell are known as cellular respiration.
THANK YOU !!!
Mitochondria
Mitochondria also known as power plant of cell.
Which produces ATP by the process of oxidative breakdown of food in presence of oxygen to form glucose,carbon dioxide and water along with 32 ATP energy this process is known as glycolysis which takes place in mitochondria of the cell.
ATP :- Adenosine tri phosphate
which is made of the combination of inorganic phosphorus and adenosine di phosphate along with absorption of some energy.
It is also known as energy currency of cell.
The ATP is broken down in to ADP and IP along with release of energy so that the cells perform their function by using this energy.
ATP → ADP + IP + ∆
where ∆ is heat energy.
