Functions of Mitochondria in Cellular Respiration

Easy Biology Cellular Biology

Cellular respiration is a metabolic process that is crucial for the production of energy in eukaryotic cells. During this process, glucose is broken down, and energy is released for cellular activities. The primary organelle responsible for the production of ATP in this process is the mitochondrion. Which of the following statements accurately describes a function of mitochondria in cellular respiration?

Mitochondria are responsible for synthesizing carbohydrates during cellular respiration.

Mitochondria convert oxygen into carbon dioxide as a byproduct.

Mitochondria are the sites of aerobic respiration where ATP is produced.

Mitochondria produce ribosomes necessary for protein synthesis.
