(ii(4) How is energy produced in the mitochondria? How do the structures of mitochondria help in this process?​

Answer»

Mitochondria, using OXYGEN available within the cell convert chemical energy from FOOD in the cell to energy in a FORM usable to the host cell. ... NADH is then used by enzymes embedded in the mitochondrial inner membrane to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

The structure of the mitochondrion is adapted to the function it performs: Outer membrane – the outer membrane contains TRANSPORT proteins that enable the shuttling of pyruvate from the cytosol. Inner membrane – contains the electron transport chain and ATP synthase (used for oxidative PHOSPHORYLATION)

Hope it helps.
