Question

i need to know why mitochondria is related to respiration?

Answer 1

Well its where the metabolic process of respiration takes place in the cell

Answer 2

Mitochondria help to produce usable energy for the cell. Located in the cytoplasm, they are the sites of cellular respiration which ultimately generates fuel for the cell's activities.

The Kreb's Cycle

When oxygen is present, respiration can harness more ATP from a single unit of glucose. The pyruvic acid from the glycolysis stage diffuses into a cell organelle called a mitochondria which are bean shaped structures that host a large surface area for the respiration to occur on.

The pyruvic acid is then subject to more enzymes which break it down into a 2 carbon compound.

The carbon element is in an infinite cycle where the 2 carbon compound derived from pyruvic acid binds with the 4 carbon compound that is always present in the cycle.
CO2 is released, where the oxygen that is present in aerobic respiration combines with carbon from the carbon compounds which is released as CO2. Hence the need for animals to breath out and expel this CO2.
Enzymes oxidize the carbon compounds and transport the hydrogen atoms to the cytochrome system.

Answer 4

because it realeses energy.energy is required for respiration

Answer 5

don't confuse respiration with breathing
