QUIZ
Launch ↗ Powerhouse (Mitochondria Simulator)
Mitochondria finish the job of pulling energy out of food. The citric acid cycle strips electrons from fuel molecules, the electron transport chain uses them to build a proton gradient, and ATP synthase turns that gradient into usable energy. Track ATP output through each stage and see how faults in the process cause mitochondrial disease.
