What is the function of the mitochondria within a cell?

Biology
1 answer:
REY [17]2 years ago
8 0
Mitochondria produce ATP through process of cellular respiration—specifically, aerobic respiration, which requires oxygen. The citric acid cycle, or Krebs cycle, takes place in the mitochondria. This cycle involves the oxidation of pyruvate, which comes from glucose, to form the molecule acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA is in turn oxidized and ATP is produced.

Why are shellfish population often a good indicator of water quality
Pachacha [2.7K]
"Water quality" may include the amounts of dissolved oxygen and the levels of algal growth, pollutants which may be present and the pH level. Water quality effects also which types of organisms can survive in a body of water.
 Shellfish require a high level of dissolved oxygen and their abundance is an indication of good water quality. Shellfish are sensitive to changes in the ecosystem and they cannot easily escape changes in the water quality. These are one of the reasons why shellfish are good indicators of water quality.

Considering the genetic makeup of homologous pairs, will cells at the end of Prophase I be genetically identical to each other?
frosja888 [35]

The correct answer is: no, the homologous pair will not be identical to each other.  

This is because the alleles on each homologous pair are not necessarily identical.

Also, during the prophase I the exchange of genetic material between 2 homologous chromosomes non-sister chromatids occurs. That results in recombinant chromosomes.

Which equation below can be used to describe the overall changes taking place during photosynthesis?
Reil [10]

Answer:

The correct equation to sum up the process of photosynthesis is:

6 CO2+ 6 H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Photosynthesis can be described as a process which plants use to produce their own food. In this process, carbon dioxide and water get converted into sugar (glucose) and oxygen. Light energy from the sun is needed for this reaction to occur.

The excess oxygen produced by this process is released into the atmosphere. The sugar made is used as fuel by the plant.
