Many mitochondria make ATP without the help of oxygen. Aa Aa Aa What variety is there in mitochondria? Mitochondria occur in various forms across various eukaryotic groups, yet considerations on ...
Over this time, the mitochondrial genome became reduced, retaining only 37 genes in most animal species, and growing reliant on the nuclear genome to fulfill the organelle’s primary function—to ...
If oxygen is not available then only two ATP are produced. Cells that have a high-energy demand such as nerve cells and muscle cells contain a large number of mitochondria to maximise ATP ...
Using a benign radioactive tracer to measure how well the participants’ muscle mitochondria used ATP, they found that ‘prefrail’ people had lower muscle mitochondrial activity. If sluggish ...
