Mitochondria is the site of ATP synthesis in eukaryotic cell during aerobic respiration. It regulates the biochemical processes of the cell and helps in generation of co enzymes as sulphur and iron.
Explanation:
Mitochondria is a cell membrane bound organelles present in cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.
The major roles of mitochondria in eukaryotic cell is to synthesize ATP by cellular respiration. It also regulates the metabolism or biochemical processes of the cell.
Mitochondria also aids in generating the iron and sulphur which acts as a coenzyme in several biochemical reactions.
The electron transport chain takes place in inner mitochondrial membrane.
There are 2 aerobic phases of cellular respiration those are Kreb's cycle and electron transport chain. The machinery for Kreb's Cycle is in matrix. The ETC is present as embedded in the inner membrane of matrix.
The cellular compartment of mitochondria performs following functions:
The space in intermembrane has electron transport chain and holds ATP synthase (enzyme required for
The cristae is a finger like projection which increases surface area for increase ATP synthesis.
In matrix of the mitochondria the Electron transport takes place.
In Kreb's cycle mitochondria aids in production of NADH and GTP. Also, synthesis of phospholipid takes place in mitochondria.

Explanation:
For this question, we can start with the structure of <u>pyruvic acid</u>. In this molecule, we have two functional groups, the <u>ketone group</u>, and a <u>carboxylic acid group</u>.
In the acid group, we have an acidic hydrogen. That is, this hydrogen can leave the molecule to produce a <u>hydronium ion</u> (
).
Now, to know what is the pH at which this hydrogen leaves the molecule we must look for the <u>pKa value</u>. Which for the case of this molecule is <u>2.45</u>
If there is a pH value greater than 2.45, the molecule will lose hydrogen. In this case, we will have a value above 2.45 (7.4), which is why the conjugated acid of pyruvic acid will be produced, which is <u>pyruvate</u>.
Therefore, in the structure, we will have a negative charge on the acid group.

In chemistry, concentration is the abundance of a constituent divided by the total volume of a mixture.
Explanation:
if non science related concentration is also about focusing(non-science related definition) : )
