Question
Mitochondria convert food to energy/ATP and are thus referred as the ‘powerhouses’ of a cell. This conversion of food to energy process is more efficient than the processes which rely on anaerobic energy production only. Name and explain the energy production process carried out by mitochondria.

The energy is provided by electron carrier molecules in the electron transport system that pump ___________into the intermembrane space (also called outer compartment). When these move back into the ___________, they must move through ATP synthase. This movement through ATP synthase provides the power needed by ATP synthase to push the third phosphate group onto ADP. protons (H+ ions); mitochondrial matrix protons; intermembrane space electrons; intermembrance space electrons; mitochondrial matrixarrow_forwardATP synthesis in mitochondria requires all of the following EXCEPT (select two answers) a hydrogen ion concentration gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane the oxidation of dinucleotide molecules that act as electron carriers fermentation of pyruvate into lactate to regenerate NAD+ the reduction O2, forming H2O the breakdown of glucosearrow_forward
