Question

malfunctions of the mitochondria can cause a number of disorders. which statement best explains how mitochondrial problems can affect an organism? cells die when mitochondria malfunction because the cells have a problem transforming oxygen and nutrients into atp cells grow is an unregulated way when mitochondria malfunction because the usual check on the cell cycle are absent cells grow in a unregulated way when mitochondria malfunction because the process of creating and packaging proteins for cell use speeds up cells die when mitochondria malfunction because the cells lose their ability to prevent dangerous substances from crossing the cell membrane a student wants to develop a model of a plant cell and a model of an animal cell. plant and animal cells are both eukaryotic and share many common characteristics. which list best describes the characteristics that should be included in both of the models a nucleus, cytoplasm, organelles, and a cell membrane that controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell

Explanation:

1. Mitochondria are the power - houses of the cell, responsible for producing ATP through cellular respiration. When they malfunction, cells can't convert oxygen and nutrients into ATP, leading to cell death.
2. Plant and animal cells are eukaryotic. Both have a nucleus (control center), cytoplasm (gel - like substance holding organelles), organelles (perform various functions), and a cell membrane (controls substance movement).

Answer:

1. Cells die when mitochondria malfunction because the cells have a problem transforming oxygen and nutrients into ATP
2. a nucleus, cytoplasm, organelles, and a cell membrane that controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell
