In mammals, mature red blood cells do not have mitochondria. Instead of using oxygen to help produce ATP, they use a form of ana
erobic respiration known as lactic acid fermentation to form ATP. Based on the information just given, what is the role of the mitochondria in cells that do contain mitochondria? (Points : 2) use lactic acid to make ATP use oxygen to make ATP use ATP to make oxygen
Mitochondria use oxygen to make ATP in a process called oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondrion are found in most eukaryotic cells which are cells that make up plants, animals and fungi.
