No bc Mitochondria are rod-shaped organelles that can be considered the power generators of the cell, converting oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP<span>). ATP is the chemical energy "currency" of the cell that powers the cell's metabolic activities. This process is called </span>aerobic respiration<span> and is the reason animals breathe oxygen. Without mitochondria (singular, mitochondrion), higher animals would likely not exist because their cells would only be able to obtain energy from anaerobic respiration (in the absence of oxygen), a process much less efficient than aerobic respiration. In fact, mitochondria enable cells to produce 15 times more ATP than they could otherwise, and complex animals, like humans, need large amounts of energy in order to survive.

Explain how freshwater streams change as they flow from mountains to lakes and shores.

Fed [463]

Answer:

When fresh water reaches lakes and shores , it becomes dirty and less diverse in living organism.

Explanation:

Fresh water originating from a given source is usually cooler at upstream side. Also it has high oxygen content and fresh water fauna such as fishes. In the middle of its course, its width and species diversity increases. With further progression, sediments and dust adds to the water thereby reducing its clarity and hence the penetration of sunlight. By the time this water reaches streams and ponds, it is full of mud, sand, and other sediments.
