how can you appeciate the work of mitochondria in the production of energy
Answers
Answer:
Mitochondria, using oxygen available within the cell convert chemical energy from food in the cell to energy in a form usable to the host cell. ... NADH is then used by enzymes embedded in the mitochondrial inner membrane to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP). In ATP the energy is stored in the form of chemical bonds.
Answer:
Without mitochondria using anything that uses energy would slow down drastically. ATP production would be limited to processes that produce waste products. Without mitochondria evolution of even moderately complex organisms would not be possible.
It should probably be added that “something” similar to mitochondria would have come into symbiosis with cells that engulfed the “something” and then evolved into something like mitochondria. As Ian Malcolm [Jurassic Park] mentioned numerous times “Evolution will find a way.”
