Question

what other cells structures does mitochondria work with?

Answer 1

Well, you can use the analogy of a car to the cell. If the cell is the car, then the mitochondria is the engine which provides power to the car. ATP is produced in the mitochondria, which the entire cell uses as energy.

Answer 2

basically any cell kinda

Answer 3

thank you. but what im looking for is what cell STRUCTURES, as in, what other parts of the cell

Answer 4

The only thing the Mitochondria does is Provide Energy

Maybe sites of the Cellular Respiration

Answer 5

no, I mean, does Mitochondria work with vacuoles or chloroplasts or anything like that? Cell wall?

Answer 6

Hmm not that i know of sorry.....

Answer 7

It's alright. thank you for taking the time to try and help

Answer 8

Splatterpaint, I looked a fair bit and I can't find any explicit reference to other organelles that it works with. It has its own DNA and even makes its own proteins. So I would say that it has the ability to stand alone. Having said that, it would work with choloroplasts in the energy cycle and it releases ATP into the cell during respiration so it works to provide energy for all the cellular processes. Help me understand your question better.

Answer 9

Yeah your right Pereetha

It dosent really have any other interaction with any other cell besides providing ATP energgy

Answer 10

Geometry hater means, it does not have any other interaction with other cell organelles in the cell.

Answer 11

yeah thanks for rephrasing that

Answer 12

Thank you both. I'm in Biology and my teacher is horrid. We're doing a project assigned a part of a cell and researching it and the question specifically states, "Determine what other cell structures YOUR (mitochondria) cell structure works with."

Answer 13

Your mitochondria works with the chloroplast, because cellular respiration and photosynthesis are coupled reactions. The chloroplasts performs photosynthesis, which produces oxygen and sugar, and the mitochondria uses the oxygen and sugar to produce water and carbon dioxide

Answer 14

to clear this up. the main structures the mitochondrium works with is the golgi apparatus. not all mitochondria proteins are actually produced there, in the process of evolution, many proteins were outsourced and are now encoded in the nucleus. thus, the golgi also provides proteins for the mitochondrium.

furthermore, the cytosol (which I see also as an organelle) also works with the mitochondrium. parts of the krebs cycle happen there, other parts in the mitochondrium.

Answer 15

and, in plants, the chloroplasts, of course. wondermath is right about that.

Answer 16

what? I'm SO confused!
