They produce about 90% of the energy a cell needs to survive. Without this vital organelle cells would no longer produce as much energy at such efficient rates. ]]> 2020-09-17 12:22:57 UTC https://padlet.com/aecobb2/5ijkw21c98qq98wg/wish/754844544 https://padlet.com/aecobb2/5ijkw21c98qq98wg/wish/754844623 Known as the "powerhouse of the cell", the mitochondria produces the ATP necessary for cellular respiration. ]]> 2020-09-17 12:22:59 UTC https://padlet.com/aecobb2/5ijkw21c98qq98wg/wish/754844623 aecobb2 https://padlet.com/aecobb2/5ijkw21c98qq98wg/wish/754846381 Since energy is essential for the continuation of life, Mitochondria are incredibly important because they provide short-term energy for cell processes. Without this energy, life processes wouldn't be able to continue. ]]> 2020-09-17 12:23:35 UTC https://padlet.com/aecobb2/5ijkw21c98qq98wg/wish/754846381 https://padlet.com/aecobb2/5ijkw21c98qq98wg/wish/754849359 ATP is the energy that we need for basic life processes like homeostasis, growth, DNA replication, and movement.]]> 2020-09-17 12:24:40 UTC https://padlet.com/aecobb2/5ijkw21c98qq98wg/wish/754849359 aecobb2 https://padlet.com/aecobb2/5ijkw21c98qq98wg/wish/754875176 2020-09-17 12:33:29 UTC https://padlet.com/aecobb2/5ijkw21c98qq98wg/wish/754875176 aecobb2 https://padlet.com/aecobb2/5ijkw21c98qq98wg/wish/754880218 Since the Mitochondria practically runs the cell, all other processes depend on it for their own function. With the sheer amount of energy produced by this single organelle, it's safe to say that it's pretty important. 

To conclude, this organelle is the most important because it allows every other organelle to function and support life. ]]> 2020-09-17 12:35:03 UTC https://padlet.com/aecobb2/5ijkw21c98qq98wg/wish/754880218 aecobb2 https://padlet.com/aecobb2/5ijkw21c98qq98wg/wish/754967242 "give the power to the powerhouse"]]> 2020-09-17 12:58:05 UTC https://padlet.com/aecobb2/5ijkw21c98qq98wg/wish/754967242 aecobb2 https://padlet.com/aecobb2/5ijkw21c98qq98wg/wish/763845632 Also known as the citric acid cycle, this process takes place in the matrix of the Mitochondria (or the cytoplasm of prokaryotes) and it drives cellular respiration.
