Q

mitrochondria

A

rod - shaped spherical bodies

energy released from glucose is trapped and stored until needed by adenosine triphosphate (ATP)

when energy is needed the adenosine triphosphate breaks down to adenosine diphosphate (ADP)

Q

lysosomes

A

produced by parts of golgi aparatus

called suicide bags due to containing powerful enzymes that digest all major parts of cell

destroy bacteria
