Q: Give reasons for the following biological observations:

1. Meat deteriorates unless refrigerated.
2. Plant cells would still produce ATP even if all mitochondria were removed.



Answer :

GinnyAnswer

Final answer:

Meat deteriorates without refrigeration due to bacterial growth, while plant cells can produce ATP without mitochondria through alternative respiration processes.


Explanation:

Reasons for the biological observations:

  1. Meat Deterioration: Meat deteriorates unless refrigerated due to the growth of bacteria and other microorganisms that break down the meat, causing spoilage.
  2. Plant Cells and ATP Production: Plant cells would still produce ATP even if all mitochondria were removed because they can carry out anaerobic respiration, like in low-oxygen conditions, to generate ATP.

The process of cellular respiration in plants and animals is crucial for ATP production.
