Viruses are not always classified as living cells because they cannot live independently. They rely on a host to provide all resources to live, without a host they are in a dormant, near dead like state. Therefore it has to define a virus as dead or alive as it may or may not have a host.
The greater the amount of active transport carried out by a cell, the greater the amount of mitochondria would be found in the cell.
Active transport uses energy. Mitochondria undergoes aerobic respiration to release large amounts of energy. If the cell is found to be lacking in energy needed for active transport, the cell would adapt by synthesizing more mitochondrion to ensure that it's demand of energy is met.
Answer: The ATP(Adenosine Triphosphate) that will be generated if one pyruvate molecule is carried through cellular respiration is 36.
Explanation: Pyruvate is formed through glycolysis cycle which breaks down glucose. The pyruvate is used in aerobic cellular respiration via the TCA cycle yielding 2 ATPs and the electron transport system yielding 34 ATPs. That makes it up to a total of 36 ATPs.
