Air is thinner at higher altitudes which means there are fewer oxygen molecules per volume of air. T


Air is thinner at higher altitudes which means there are fewer oxygen molecules per volume of air. This means that when athletes train at these high altitudes, their body produces more red blood cells. These extra blood cells stay in the body for up to 20 days.

Mitochondria, the DNA directs the ribosomes to produce proteins as enzymes, or biological catalysts, in ATP production. Mitochondria are responsible for converting nutrients into the energy-yielding ATP to power the cell's activities. The number of mitochondria in a cell depends on the cell's function.
