Cell cycle Mitochondria diffusion underground stem respiration in plants Notes: Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell’s biochemical reactions. Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
Cell cycle Mitochondria diffusion underground stem respiration in plants Notes
The process of respiration in plants involves using the sugars produced during photosynthesis plus oxygen to produce energy for plant growth. … Respiration takes place in the mitochondria of the cell in the presence of oxygen, which is called “aerobic respiration“.
