MITOCHONDRIA: SITE OF ENERGY TRANSDUCTION
The majority of cellular processes require the transduction of a large amount of energy. Hydrolysis of ATP is the most common reaction coupled to processes that require energy for completion. The mitochondrion is the major source of ATP synthesis for the cell. ATP is generated from ADP as the result of the oxygen consumption. This process is known as oxidative phosphorylation. In fact, the mitochondria use about 80% of the oxygen taken up by the cells. Mitochondria are composed of two membranes, the outer membrane and the inner membrane, which are separated by the intermembrane space.

by an unknown author, if it let me know, and also works of others practics doctors. I have a family and two charming children.
