The number of mitochondria in a cell would be a general indicator of the extent of ATP production in that cell.
- In the mitochondria of a cell, the process of cellular respiration also results in the formation of ATP.
- This can be done through either anaerobic or aerobic respiration, depending on whether oxygen is present. From glucose and oxygen, aerobic respiration creates ATP, as well as carbon dioxide and water.
- By adding a phosphate group to another molecule, ATP can drive biological operations (a process called phosphorylation).
- Special enzymes are responsible for carrying out this transfer, which connects the cellular processes that need energy to the release of energy from ATP.
