Arrange the following events in the correct sequence describing how mitochondria manage energy storage and release.
Energy is released and used for cellular activities
Mitochondria break down fat droplets
Fat droplets form next to mitochondria
Energy deficit arises in the cell
Cell has excess sugar available
Correct Answer
(1) Cell has excess sugar available
(2) Fat droplets form next to mitochondria
(3) Energy deficit arises in the cell
(4) Mitochondria break down fat droplets
(5) Energy is released and used for cellular activities
Explanation
The sequence of fat storage and energy release:
- When more sugar is available than needed, excess energy is stored
- Fat droplets form adjacent to mitochondria
- When an energy deficit arises later
- Mitochondria break down the fat droplets to yield energy
- Released energy is used for cellular activities via ATP
