Description
Mitochondrial metabolic competence is the organelle's capacity to provide adequate amounts of ATP in due time, by adjusting the mt-membrane potential, mt-redox states and the ATP/ADP ratio according to the metabolic requirements of the cell.
The term mitochondrial competence is also known in a genetic context: Mammalian mitochondria possess a natural competence for DNA import.
