Write the formula that shows the release of energy by the mitochondria.

Answer;

C6H12O6 + 6O2  6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

Explanation;

- Mitochondria are tiny organelles inside cells that are involved in releasing energy from food, a process called cellular respiration.

-During cellular respiration nutrients such as glucose are broken down in the presence of oxygen to release energy in form of ATP and water together with carbon dioxide as by products. The energy released may be utilized by the cells to drive cellular processes, such as growth and movement.
