Introduction:
Mitochondria are cell organelles that generate chemical energy required to power the cell's biochemical reactions. The chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Answer to Problem 2STP
Correct answer:
The correct answer is option (a) at number 1 there is Mitochondria.
Explanation of Solution
Explanation/justification for the correct answer:
Option (a) during everyday activities and light exercise, the mitochondria of muscle fibers produce ATP in a process called aerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration requires the presence of oxygen to break down food energy (usually glucose and fat) to generate ATP for muscle contractions.
The main organelle involved in respiration is the mitochondria. It's known as the powerhouse of the cell because 32 ATP is created from this organelle
Explanation for incorrect answer:
Option (b) at number 2 there is cytosomes. They are proteins that contain heme as their prosthetic group. Their principal function is the electron transport. They are firmly integrated in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
Option (c) at number 3 there is lysosomes that regulate immune response by modulating cellular
Option (d) at number 4 there are cell membranes that divide the interior of all cells from the outside environment and protects them.
