Answer:

They are known as the power house of the cell.  They are organeles that act as a digestive system which then they take in nutrients, break them down, and create energy for the cell.  This process is also known as cellular respiration.

Answer:

The main role of mitochondrion is the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Explanation:

The main role of mitochondrion is the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is obtained, for example, through the phosphorylation of ADP [adenosine diphosphate]).

Mitochondrion obtain energy through aerobic respiration. When oxygen is scarce, they can obtain it by anaerobic fermentation, though.

Mitochondrion have many other functions and roles.

Answer:

A. His mitochondria lack the transport protein that moves pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane.

Explanation:

Pyruvate is from the breakdown of carbohydrates such as glucose through glycolysis. Glucose enters the cytosol through specific transporters (the GLUT family) and is processed by one of several pathways depending on cellular requirements. Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol and produces a limited amount of ATP, but the end product is two 3-carbon molecules of pyruvate, which maybe diverted again into many pathways depending on the requirements of the cell. In aerobic conditions, pyruvate is primarily transported into the mitochondrial matrix and converted to acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) and carbon dioxide by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC).

Initially it was proposed that pyruvate was able to cross the membrane in its undissociated (acid) form but evaluation of its biochemical properties show that it is largely in its ionic form within the cell and should therefore require a transporter.

Transport of pyruvate across the outer mitochondrial membrane appears to be easily accomplished via large non-selective channels such as voltage-dependent anion channels/porin, which enable passive diffusion. Indeed, deficiencies in these channels have been suggested to block pyruvate metabolism
