Which statement about ATP and mitochondria is most accurate?
Answer & explanation
Mitochondria contribute to ATP production, but they are not the only place ATP can be produced.
ATP transfers energy between coupled cellular processes and must be replenished. Mitochondrial metabolism is important, while glycolysis can also produce ATP in the cytosol. Different cell types and conditions use these processes differently.
