To turn sugars into energy

Explanation:

$\bf{ \underline{ \large{Functions \: of \: Mitochondria}}}$

Mitochondria are main sites of aerobic respiration. They are miniature biochemical factories where food stuffs are completely oxidised to carbon dioxide and water.
The energy (ATP) produced in the mitochondria helps to perform various energy requiring processes.
Because of the formation of ATP in mitochondria it is called power house of the cell.

$\bf{ \underline{ \large{Functions \: of \: Chloroplast}}}$

Photosynthesis: Light reaction (in thylakoids), Dark reaction (in stroma).
Storage of starch.

What happens when ATP is converted to ADP?Energy is stored in bonds.Energy is released from bonds.Energy remains in the same.The

crimeas [40]

Energy stored in food can be used by cells to add a phosphate group to ADP to make ATP. This cycling of ATP to ADP occurs in a metabolic process called cellular respiration. phosphate group breaks, and energy is released. ATP becomes ADP, and the cycle of storing and releasing energy continues until the cell dies.

How does the mining industry make use of bacteria?

blagie [28]

Answer:

Using Bacteria such as Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans to leach copper from mine tailings has improved recovery rates and reduced operating costs. Microbial leaching is especially useful for copper ores because copper sulfate, as formed during the oxidation of copper sulfide ores, is very water-soluble.
