Cellular Respiration Diagram Mitochondria. Cellular respiration diagram mitochondria. During cellular respiration mitochondria convert glucose and oxygen to produce adenosine triphosphate atp which is the biochemical energy currency of the cell to do any cellular activities.
The mitochondrion is a double membraned rod shaped structure found in both plant and animal cell. Although technically cellular respiration is a combustion reaction it clearly does not resemble one when it occurs in a living cell. Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces atp.
Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces atp.
The key enzymes responsible for mitochondrial energy production are nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate nadp nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide nad adenosine diphosphate adp and flavin adenine dinucleotide fad. During cellular respiration mitochondria convert glucose and oxygen to produce adenosine triphosphate atp which is the biochemical energy currency of the cell to do any cellular activities. The following diagram of cellular respiration will give a better understanding of this process. Cellular respiration diagram mitochondria.
