does this reaction look familiar? Overall, it is the reverse reaction of photosynthesis, but chemically, the steps involved are very different.)
C6H12O6<span> + 6O</span>2<span> -------------------> 6CO</span>2<span> + 6H</span>2O + ~38 ATP
<span>This process occurs partially in the cytoplasm, and partially in the mitochondria. The mitochondria is another organelle in eukaryotic cells. like the chloroplast, the mitochondria has </span>two lipid bilayers<span> around it, and its own </span>genome <span>(indicating that it may be the result of endosymbiosis long ago). In some ways similar to the chloroplast, the mitochondria also has two main sites for the reactions: The </span>matrix<span>, a liquidy part of the mitochondrion, and the </span>christae<span>, the folded membranes in the mitochondrion. i hope this helped i bolded the important stuff i really hope this helped you</span>
