Sindrei [870]3 years ago

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

They generate chemical energy in the form of ATP.

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell because they "burn" or break the chemical bonds of glucose to release energy to do work in a cell. This releases energy (ATP) for the cell. The more active a cell (such as a muscle cell), the more mitochondria it will have.

3, Males' major sex hormone is testosterone, and females have high levels of estrogen and progesterone in their blood. Females build up fat more easily than males.
