is the name given to the body's energy production process. Through a process called respiration, mitochondria produce energy for cells by oxidizing substances that are synthesized in the cytosol of the cell, a process known as the citric acid cycle. The fuel that is then produced is in the ...
A secondary function of mitochondria is to synthesize proteins for their own use. They work independently, and execute the transcription of DNA to RNA, and translation of RNA to amino acids (the building blocks of protein), without using any components of the cell. However, here too, there ...
The mitochondrial genome is vital for the mitochondria's main role: burning the calories we eat with the oxygen we breathe to generate the energy to power all of our biological processes. But this amazing source of energy is not without its cost. Like any powerhouse, mitochondria produce toxic...
Figure 5: The origin of mitochondria and chloroplasts Mitochondria and chloroplasts likely evolved from engulfed prokaryotes that once lived as independent organisms. At some point, a eukaryotic cell engulfed an aerobic prokaryote, which then formed an endosymbiotic relationship with the host eukaryote, ...

It acts as the power source of the electric vehicle controller, similar to mitochondria, the cell’s powerhouse. It also distributes power efficiently to increase the vehicle’s performance. Communication Interface: As the nervous system of humans works as a long chain of communication throughout...
As we grow older, aches and pains can become a chronic part of life. But experts say it doesn't have to—and solutions are on the way.

Many researchers today believe that the first cells or unicellularprokaryoticorganisms did not arise from any precursor cell. They were formed from a biological force still unknown to the human race today. Though highly disputed, this theory still violates the cell theory. Mitochondria and chloroplasts...
