mitochondria release energy, or atp, through
which life process?
regulation
respiration
nutrition
photosynthesis
rewatch
Mitochondria are known as the "powerhouses" of the cell. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose (in the presence of oxygen) to release energy in the form of ATP. Regulation is about maintaining internal balance (like homeostasis), nutrition is about obtaining food/s nutrients, and photosynthesis (which occurs in chloroplasts, not mitochondria) is about making glucose from light energy. So, mitochondria release ATP through respiration.
