Mitochondria are tiny organelles inside cells that are involved in releasing energy from food. This process is known as cellular respiration. It is for this reason that mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell.
The answer is D. Since mitchondra is the energy source for the cell, it provides energy. Be sure to reread the lesson. Hope this helped!
The kind of lipid that forms when a glycerol combines with fatty acids through dehydration synthesis is the trigylceride. It is also known as a triacylglycerol. It is compound that is formed from a glycerol molecule and three molecules of fatty acid. It is synthesized by the reaction dehydration synthesis wherein water is the by-product of the process. The -OH from the functional group of glycerol are detached and the fatty acids would attach to it forming the triglyceride. A dehydration synthesis involves the combining of smaller molecules to be able to form a larger molecule and along with it water molecules are being released. It is also known as a condensation reaction.
