Approximately 90 hours of flight training instruction, 22 weeks of training. Purpose: teach students basic flying skills. Focus: Contact, Instruments, Formation (2-ship), Navigation. At the end of this 6-month phase, students pick which Advanced Track they wish to fly.
Cells do not use the energy from oxidation reactions as soon as it is released. Instead, they convert it into small, energy-rich molecules such as ATP and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), which can be used throughout the cell to power metabolism and construct new cellular components.
Some simple cells contain only one or two mitochondria. However, complex animal cells that need a lot of energy, like muscle cells, can have thousands of mitochondria. Energy Factory The main function of mitochondria is to produce energy for the cell. Cells use a special molecule for energy called ATP. ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate. The ATP for the cell is made within the mitochondria. You can think of the mitochondria as the energy factory or power plant of the cell. Respiration Mitochondria produce energy through the process of cellular respiration. Respiration is another word for breathing.
