The major chemical energy currency in life in eukaryotic cells is ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). The major contribution of ATP in

eukaryotic cells comes from mitochondria. Every cell in your body contain mitochondria. Mitochondria then might be called the most successful organism on the planet since they:

Answer:

First of all mitochondria is not an organism it is an organelle in most cells.

Biochemical processes like respiration and energy production occurs in mitochondria and therefore it is also known power house of the cell.

Explanation:

As it is a source of energy production therefore it is called as powerhouse of cell.

When the acetyl-CoA produced during -oxidation in the liver exceeds the capacity of the citric acid cycle, the excess acetyl-Co
Oliga [24]

Answer:

There is a need to transform the accumulation of acetyl-CoA into the ketone bodies, as one knows that acetyl-CoA is both labile and possess an enormous amount of energy. Hence, acetyl-CoA due to its unstable characteristic is not ideal for circulation within the tissues, and at the same time, the compound acetyl-CoA does not possess the tendency to pass through the cell membrane.  

Due to these reasons, the conversion of acetyl-CoA into the ketone bodies is done, the ketone bodies also act as an alternative source of energy. The ketone bodies work as water-soluble correspondents of fatty acids. The production of ketone bodies generally takes place within the liver cells' mitochondrial matrix. The three forms of ketone bodies are beta-hydroxybutyrate, acetoacetate, and acetone.  

The production of ketone bodies by the liver cells helps the cells of the brain at the time of starvation, as the brain cannot use fatty acids as an energy source, as the fatty acids cannot pass through the blood-brain barrier.

What describes the principle of superposition
lisabon 2012 [21]

When we discuss superposition in biology term then its principle tells that one by one rocks or sediments settles.The superposition mean that the older rocks or sediments place below all newly coming sediments or rocks place on first layer so layer over layer formation is called superposition.

Suppose that the mice with unlimited access to water produced more urine than the mice given no access to water. how would that
kupik [55]

<span>The ratio of both groups would stay the same. Reason being the ratio in urine osmolality is divided by blood osmolality. The mice with no access to water the ratio of urine osmolality to blood osmolality are 14:7 while for mice with unlimited access to water the ratio of urine osmolality to blood osmolality is 1:4. In conclusion, the mice with no access to water produce highly concentrated urine.</span>

explain how the surface area and volume of cell affect the rate of exchange of materials in and out of cells in multicellular or
Shtirlitz [24]
An organism must has a large surface area to volume ratio in order to exchange material easier 

in animals erythrocytes have a flat concave shape that allows them to carry more haemoglobin and also increases its surface area to volume ration so that the length and availability of a surface is less for the materials to travel 

multi cellular organisms tend to have flat and elongated respiratory surfaces to allow for a higher surface area to volume ratio in order to increase the rate of gas exchange 

the ilium in most mammals is flat and elongated and is covered with microvilli to increase surface area and to reduce the cells volume therefore reducing its surface area to volume ratio 
hope that helps
