Do mitochondria produce ATP?
Posted September 16, 2022

Answer

Yes, mitochondria produce ATP from ADP and phosphate through the process of oxidative phosphorylation. 

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the eukaryotic cell. ATP is produced through a complex reaction triggered by the proton gradient across the inner mitochondrial membrane, which occurs during cellular respiration.
