A mitochondrion is a membrane-bound cell organelle that generate most of the chemical energy (adenosine triphosphate or ATP) for the cell’s biochemical reactions. The energy is produced by the mitochondria and stored in the small ATP molecules.
Answer:
Proteins seem better suited for storing genetic information because DNA is only made from 4 bases while proteins were made from 20 amino acids, Scientists thought that proteins could code for much greater variety in their amino acid sequence than DNA could in its nucleotide sequence.
This is because not all genes are expressed at the same time, so not all the proteins are present at a certain moment. The mechanisms that cell uses to control gene expression are called regulation of the gene expression. Thanks to regulation of the genes, cells have the ability to increase or decrease the production of specific gene products such as proteins. This property is important for the adaptability of an organism because it allows the cell to express protein when needed.
