Mitochondria is a membranous cytoplasmic
organelle whose main function is the generation of energy through the synthesis
of adenosine triphosphate
Inside the mitochondria occurs cellular
respiration, a process in which organic molecules of food react with oxygen
gas, transforming into carbonic gas and water, producing energy.
The energy released in the cellular
respiration is stored in a substance called adenosine trisphosphate, that
energy that is used for all the cellular and systemic processes of the body, as
for example, for the thermal regulation.
The matrix has specific enzymatic activities,
such as the krebs cycle, lipid b-oxidation, DNA replication / transcription,
and protein synthesis.
