Mitochondria Cannot be the Powerhouse of the Cell. The Unsuspected Intrinsic Capacity of Eukaryotic Cell to Dissociate the Water Molecule, Like in Plants

Sunlight is the most abundant energy source on this planet. However, the ability to convert sunlight into biological energy in the supposed form of adenosine-5´-triphosphate (ATP) could be a wrong belief, because it is limited to chlorophyll-containing chloroplasts in photosynthetic organisms. The mammalian mitochondria can also reaction to light and increase significantly synthesis of ATP when mixed with a lightcapturing metabolite of chlorophyll. the same potential to convert light into energy exists in mammals, as chlorophyll metabolites accumulate in mice, rats and swine when fed a chlorophyll-rich diet. So, through consumption of plant chlorophyll pigments, animals, too, can derive energy directly from sunlight. Our finding about the presence of several molecules in the Eukaryotic cell like melanin and those molecules derived from Protoporphyrin IX (PTP IX) that can dissociate the water molecules break the ground about our artificial division on Photosynthetic and Non-photosynthetic organisms. It turns out that all living beings can dissociate water molecules at the intracellular level, given that the cellular needs for oxygen (and hydrogen) are very demanding and constant, and with this capacity, hitherto unsuspected, each cell in our body produces its own oxygen (and hydrogen).

Abstract

Sunlight is the most abundant energy source on this planet. However, the ability to convert sunlight into biological energy in the supposed form of adenosine-5´-triphosphate (ATP) could be a wrong belief, because it is limited to chlorophyll-containing chloroplasts in photosynthetic organisms. The mammalian mitochondria can also reaction to light and increase significantly synthesis of ATP when mixed with a lightcapturing metabolite of chlorophyll. the same potential to convert light into energy exists in mammals, as chlorophyll metabolites accumulate in mice, rats and swine when fed a chlorophyll-rich diet. So, through consumption of plant chlorophyll pigments, animals, too, can derive energy directly from sunlight. Our finding about the presence of several molecules in the Eukaryotic cell like melanin and those molecules derived from Protoporphyrin IX (PTP IX) that can dissociate the water molecules break the ground about our artificial division on Photosynthetic and Non-photosynthetic organisms. It turns out that all living beings can dissociate water molecules at the intracellular level, given that the cellular needs for oxygen (and hydrogen) are very demanding and constant, and with this capacity, hitherto unsuspected, each cell in our body produces its own oxygen (and hydrogen).
