Question

Why is the energy generated by mitochondria is in the form of ATP ? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

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 2

In the matrix of mitochondria the reactions known as the citric acid or Krebs cycle produce a chemical called NADH. In ATP the energy is stored in the form of chemical bonds. These bonds can be opened and the energy redeemed. In return the host cell provides physical protection and a constant supply of food and oxygen.
