Answer: The main function of mitochondria is to produce energy for the cell. Cells use a special molecule for energy called ATP.

Explanation: The most prominent roles of mitochondria are to produce the energy currency of the cell, ATP (i.e., phosphorylation of ADP), through respiration, and to regulate cellular metabolism. The central set of reactions involved in ATP production are collectively known as the citric acid cycle, or the Krebs cycle.

Is Water Wet? If So, What makes it wet, if not what makes it dry?
Monica [59]

Answer:

Water is a liquid. Water is not wet BECAUSE something is only wet when water is on that object.

Explanation:

For example, there is water is a glass cup, and then the glass cup spills onto the table, causing the table to be wet, BUT you can remove that water from the table with some paper towels or a rag. Therefore, the table is no longer wet. Or when you're out in the rain and it gets on your clothes and/or hair, then your clothes and/or hair is WET.

When you put water onto water, it's an addition of water, you don't say it's wet or wetter.

Now, let me further prove my point with a different element: Fire. Fire burns things, right? So, when fire is on an object, then that object is burned. And when you add fire to fire, it causes more fire; fire does not burn itself.

Therefore, water is NOT wet. Wet is an adjective to describe an object that has been touched by a liquid, in this case, water.

So, yeah, enjoy the rest of your day. I'm sure some would like to argue my point. Go ahead.
