The mitochondria help in:
Correct answer: D. All of these
- A. Oxidative phosphorylation
- B. Liver cells
- C. To maintain calcium ions
- D. All of these
- E. Hormone release
Explanation
Mitochondria help in all of the given functions and are, therefore, very important organelles. It is found in almost every cell in the body, including liver cells. It helps play a role in most metabolic processes by producing ATP. The ATP can then be utilized in oxidative phosphorylation, hormone release, and the maintenance of intracellular and extracellular calcium ion concentration.
