Question

What outcome do you expect, if all the mitochondria are removed from a eukaryotic cell?

Show answer Hide answer
Answer
The cell would have no energy and would die.

Explanation

  • Mitochondria release energy during cellular respiration.
  • They store this energy as ATP.
  • Without them, no ATP is made.
  • So the cell cannot do its activities and will die.
No mitochondria means no energy, so the cell stops working.
