What would be an example of an everyday respiratory event the erv simulates?

 An example would be blowing out birthday candles, as most try to get rid of the flames of the candles in a single breath.

Hope this helps !

Mitochondria is the cell organelle that produced the energy that is needed in the body system in form of atp, that is why it is called the power house of the cell. energy is needed by the living organisms to carry out the activities which sustain life.  if the mitochondria is destroyed atp will not be produced. if the mitochondria is destroyed, energy production will stop and the affected living organism will not have the energy to carry out the necessary life processes; this will lead to the death of the organism.
