Question

The diagram below represents a cell found in some complex organisms. The enlarged section represents an organelle, labeled X, found in this cell.

Part A: Identify organelle X. State the process that this organelle performs.

Part B: Identify two materials that are needed for this process to occur, and then identify one molecule produced by this organelle and explain why it is important to the organism.

Answer 1

Answer:

here X is mitochondria and it is power house of cell

Answer 2

Answer:

The organelle X is called the Mitochondria and it serves as the power house of cell.

Explanation:

Part (A)

• Mitochondria provide energy in the form of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) also regarded as the energy currency for all the cellular reactions.
• It also provides energy for cellular respiration.

Part (B)

• The necessary substances for the production of energy include carbohydrates in the form of food molecules and oxygen.
• The whole process of ATP synthesis is carried under the influence of certain biochemical enzymes called catalysts.
• ATP is synthesized during the process of respiration and goes under a series of reactions like oxidative phosphorylation, the ETC and the TCA cycle ( kreb's cycle).
• The ATP produced is necessary as t acts as the energy currency for the body.
• For example, energy is the prior need for the heart muscles and the skeletal muscles to do the mechanical work of pumping the blood and movement respectively.
