Question

Does tge Mitochondria need ATP to produce ATP????​

Answer 1

${\red{\underline{\underline{\bold{Answer:-}}}}}$

Mitochondria are the energy factories of the cells. The energy currency for the work that animals must do is the energy-rich molecule adenosine triphosphate(ATP). The ATP is produced in the mitochondria using energy stored in food.

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The outer mitochondrial membrane fully surrounds the inner membrane, with small  intermembrane space in between. The inner membrane is loaded with proteins involved in electron transport and ATP synthesis.  This membrane surrounds the mitochondrial matrix, where the citric acid cycle produces the electrons that travel from one protein complex to the next in the inner membrane. At the end of this electron transport chain, the final electron acceptor is oxygen, and this ultimately forms water (H20). At the same time, the electron transport chain produces ATP. (This is why the the process is called oxidative phosphorylation)

               During electron transport, the participating protein complexes push protons from the matrix out to the intermembrane space. This creates a concentration gradient of protons that another protein complex, called ATP synthase, uses to power synthesis of the energy carrier molecule ATP
