which cell organelle is the power house of a cell?
464037
The power house of a cell is the mitochondria.  ATP is produced through cellular respiration, which starts out with glycolysis, and goes into the Kreb cycle, ending with the electron transport chain.  Glycolysis requires an input of 2 ATP to obtain a net product of 4 ATP.  The end product is acetyl CoA, which enters the Kreb cycle.  The Kreb cycle takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria.  The products of the Kreb cycle are 2 GTP, NADH, FADH2, water (H2O), and carbon dioxide(CO2).  NADH from the Kreb cycle then enters the electron transport chain (ETC).  At the end of ETC, you gain 34 ATP.  The result of the entire process results in a net product of 36 to 38 ATP.

I would say mitochondria.

Both are eukaryotic (containing a "true nucleus").  \n\nAnimal Cells lack a cell wall and adjacent cells are connected by junctions (adhesive, gap or tight).  Animal cells contain centrioles (help create microtubules used in mitosis and meiosis) and lysosomes (organelles used to digest wastes and old organelles). During telophase and cytokinesis the cells separate via a cleavage furrow.\n\nPlant Cells contain a cell wall (think of the cell wall as the "skeleton" composed mainly of cellulose) and rely on turgor pressure to keep them upright.  Adjacent cells are connected by channels called plasmodesmata.  You will not find centrioles or lysosomes in a plant cell, but you will find a really cool organelle called a large centrol vacuole.  This organelle is where the water is stored in a cell and it helps maintain the turgor pressure described above.  It also acts as a lysosome, storing chemicals and waste products.  The Central vacuole can also store the pigments you see in flowers as well as poisons used to deter predators.  And of course, in a plant cell you will find the plasts as mentioned by someone earlier.. including the famous chloroplasts (the site for photosynthesis) as well as the chromoplasts (contain pigments) and amyloplasts (specialized for starch storage). During telophase and cytokinesis, the cells are separated by a structure called a cell plate.   \n\nUmmm, that's all I can come up with right now!

CYTOPLASM... i wish i could live in some cytoplasm, that would be so much fun!

in the cytoplasm of the cells

The mitrochondrion is the powerhouse of the cell, or the battery that gives it the energy it needs. Hope this helps.

Chromosones record genetic information. And aren't even organelles, they're part of the nucleus. ---> X\nNucleus ----> X\n\nMitochondria turn sugar into AtP (energy).\nChlorpasts store solar energy in the form of sugar.\n\nMitochondria function whenever oxygen is present and sugar is available.\nChloroplasts whenever CO2 and sun-light are available.

Carbohydrates Ianthe cell undergo oxidation called respiration. I t takes place in cytoplasm , mitochondria.In mitochondria the food energy is converted into small units of energy called ATP,So the mitochondria are called  power houses of cell.

A Eukaryote cell is a cell with a nucleus.  A prokaryotic cell is a cell without a nucleus.  Eukaryotic Cells usually refer to the complex cells of multicellular organisms such as animals plants and fungi, whereas many simpler unicellular organisms are made up of the simpler prokaryotic cells.  \n\nA nucleus is the command center of the cell and stores genetic information.  In eukaryotic cells the genetic information is stored in the cytoplasm, or gooey substance that makes up the inside of the cell.

A whole cell is just that...a whole, not-cut-up, not-pieces-of-other-cells, functioning cell.\n\nThey didn't just take out the cytoplasm.  They didn't just take out mitochondira.  They took the whole cells.

B) Membrane-bound organelles\nThe procariotic cells are like a water-filled baloon, they are just a cover with water and other things (of course, this is only an example), while eukaryotic cells have compartiments.\nEvery cell has DNA, that's the way information is passed from cell to cell when they reproduce.\nRibosomes are important for producing proteins, every cell has to have them, even if with time they lose them.\nCytoplasm is the 75% of every cell, it's basically water, proteins and other things.

Around the cell. It's what holds all the squishy bits in (cytoplasm etc.)

All multicellular organisms are eukaryotes, and need their mitochondria (and chloroplasts, in some cases) to live. Mitochondria and chloroplasts used to be free-living prokaryotes.

In cell biology, a mitochondrion (from Greek mitos thread + khondrion granule) is an organelle found in most eukaryotic cells, including those of plants, animals, fungi, and protists. A few cells, such as the trypanosome protozoan, have a single large mitochondrion, but usually a cell has hundreds or thousands of mitochondria. The exact number of mitochondria depends on the cell's level of metabolic activity: more activity means more mitochondria. Mitochondria can occupy up to 25% of the cell's cytosol.\n\nMitochondria are sometimes described as "cellular power plants", because their primary function is to convert organic materials into energy in the form of ATP via the process of oxidative phosphorylation.

In an eukaroyotic plant cell the mitochondria is contained in the nucleus. The mitochondria are the "power plants" of the cell. There are three main classes of plant cells: Epidermis, Vascular tissue, and Ground tissue. The second type transports materials through the plant. Since the plant is larger, being a tree, perhaps the longer distance means the cells need more mitochondria to travel that longer distance. In a bush this would not be neccessary. The third type peforms photosynthesis and does starch storage and stuctural support. These types are further broken down into Parenchyma, Collenchyma, and Sclerenchyma. Since it is a larger plant and more starch needs to be stored, perhaps this explains it. More powerhouses would seems to me to be a benefit in greater starch storage for a larger plant. I did not know there could be more mitochondria in one plant cell than in another. Your statement was the first I'd heard of it.

chloroplast are only in plant cells, they use photosynthesis to make ATP which is energy for the cell.

it means that all the organelles are enclosed by a membrane
