Mitochondria are the energy centers of the eukaryotic cells. In these organelles, ATP (the energy coin of the cell) is produced by the oxidation of pyruvate (Krebs cycle) and oxidative phosphorylation.

  • Based on this information, malfunction in MITOCHONDRIA is most likely responsible for Leigh's disease.

  • Cellular respiration is series of metabolic reactions by which eukaryotic cells produce energy in the form of ATP from foods and oxygen.

  • Cellular respiration has three main stages: glycolysis, the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.

  • Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, whereas the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation occur in the mitochondria.

____ [38]

Answer:

33.3

Explanation:

Normally there are 4000 to 11000 WBCs in a microliter of blood averaging almost 7500. While there are 150,000 to 350,000 platelets in a microliter blood of a normal person averaging almost 250,000. Thus the ratio can be as 250,000 :7500 resulting in 33.3. If a range is to be given, it ranges from 31.8 to 37.5 per microliter of blood.
