a decrease in available oxygen for cellular respiration

Answer 1

Explanation:

Option B is the answer But not sure

Answer 2

A doctor finds that one of his patients has a problem with the mitochondria in his body. This results in B. less ATP generated during cellular respiration

Mitochondria:

• Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles that produce the majority of the chemical energy required to fuel the cell's metabolic activities (mitochondrion, singular).
• The mitochondrial energy is stored in a tiny molecule known as adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
• Mitochondria are double-membrane-bound organelles found in the majority of eukaryotic species.
• Mitochondria use aerobic respiration to produce the majority of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate, which is then used as a source of chemical energy throughout the cell.

Functions of mitochondria:

• Mitochondria's principal purpose is to generate energy via oxidative phosphorylation.
• Aside from that, it is in charge of regulating the cell's metabolic activities.
• It also encourages cell multiplication and growth.
• Mitochondria in the liver cells also detoxify ammonia.
