The "energy-currency" of the cell, that is the form in which energy is moved around and stored in the cell is ATP (adenosine-triphosphate). ATP is produced in the mitochondria of the eucaryotic cell. No functioning mitochondria would mean no ATP and this would cause ribosomes to stop functioning.Dec 10, 2015 read more
The formation of this bond consumes energy. The "energy-currency" of the cell, that is the form in which energy is moved around and stored in the cell is ATP (adenosine-triphosphate). ATP is produced in the mitochondria of the eucaryotic cell. No functioning mitochondria would mean no ATP and this would cause ribosomes to stop functioning. read more
Mitochondria are structures in cells where respiration happens. Ribosomes are too small to see using the light microscope. Chromosomes are made from DNA. Genes are short sections of DNA. Each gene is a set of coded instructions for making a particular protein. read more
The ribosomes in mitochondria have the same functions as ribosomes elsewhere. Mitochondria contain DNA in the form of circular molecules. Along this DNA there are 37 genes, of which 13 hold the code for polypeptide chains that contribute to the synthesis of proteins in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion, which is the part of the mitochondrion at which ATP is synthesized. read more
