What would happen if a cell did not have mitochondrial

2 answers:

Cells that have no mitochondria are unable to convert oxygen into energy, found in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). All multicellular eukaryotic organisms, including plants and animals, have mitochondria in some cells, but prokaryotes and some single-cell eukaryotes do not have mitochondria.

"The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell"
Besides being a meme, it essentially describes what it does. It produces energy for the cell, and the body as a whole. In the mitochondria, the process of cellular resipiration occurs, which turns glucose into energy usable by the body.

Hope this helps!

How much atp is produced from one glucose molecule if no oxygen is available to a muscle cell during contraction?

andrew11 [14]

Production of ATP in the absence of oxygen is called anearobic respiration. Under anaerobic respiration,two molecules of ATP is produced from one molecule of glucose. These ATP are used for energy production by the contracting muscles.

The blood Group of Mother is O. The Blood Group of the Child is B. Man Exonerated If He to Blood Group?

aalyn [17]

Answer:

If the mother's blood type is O, and the child's blood type is B, a man would be exonerated from paternity if he has blood type A or O.

Explanation:

In the above case, if a mother has blood type O and her child has blood type B, a man can be exonerated from paternity only if his blood type is A or O, and responsible if he is type B or AB.

The blood type is defined by the presence of surface antigens in the red blood cell, called A and B. The presence of each antigen is determined by a gene present on the parental chromosomes.

Blood type A corresponds to the presence of gene A, and its genotypic expression can be A/A or A/O.
Type B blood, whose genotype is B/B or B/O, is due to the presence of a gene containing the B antigen.
AB blood —due to codominance— has one gene for A and another for B, with genotype A/B.
Blood type O, characterised by the absence of surface antigens, behaves like a recessive trait, which only manifests itself in the absence of surface antigens A and B. The genotype is O/O.

By making a hypothetical crossing between mother and man, one can observe why he can be exonerated.

Man with blood type O

♂ O|O

♀ O|O

Alleles O O

O O|O O|O

The only possibility, in this case, is to have children with type O blood. No chance of children B.

Male with blood type A

♂ A|O

♀ O|O

Alleles A O

O A|O O|O

In this case there is a 50% chance that the children will be blood type A and 50% chance that they will be O. No chance of children B.

In the case of a man A|A the result is 100% probability of children A|O, and no probability of children B.

So, a man with blood types A (any genotype) and O, can be exonerated from paternity, since it is impossible for him to have a child of blood type B, when the mother is of blood type O.
