15. Which of the following describes how the absence of mitochondria would affect a cell?
O
Cells would be unable to undergo fermentation because mitochondria convert carbohydrates into sugars.
Heat would build up and cause the cell to become dehydrated because mitochondria release energy.
Cells would be unable to undergo cellular respiration because mitochondria convert glucose into energy.
Toxins would collect and slow the production of ATP because mitochondria remove waste from cells.

Answer 1

Answer:

Cells would be unable to undergo cellular respiration

Explanation:

Mitochondria are needed for cellular respiration (pyruvate oxidation, the Krebs cycle, and electron transport). Fermentation can occur without mitochondria (it follows a process in the cytoplasm after glycolysis, which doesn't need the mitochondria).
