Ah...hi my question is..
why is mitochondria is called the power house of the cell ?
which organelle is havin their own genetic materiel ? why ?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Heya!!

Here is your answer!!

Q.Why mitochondria is called powerhouse of cell?

• Mitochondria is called the power house of the cell because it generates the energy currency (ATP) of cell.

• Internal respiration takes place in mitochondria.

• Processes like Kreb's cycle and Electron Transport System takes place in mitochondria which are crucial reactions and generates ATP from ADP and inorganic Phosphate.

• This ATP(Adenosine Tri Phosphate ) provides energy at whole to the organism.

Q.Which organelles have their own Genetic material and Why?

• Organelles like Mitochondria and Chloroplasts had their own genetic material so that they can replicate their own.

• Since these organelles serves vital purposes like helps in Respiration( Mitochondria) and Photosynthesis( Chloroplast),so they need to replicate in order to complete their work in short time.

Hope it helps u!!

Answer 2

formation of ATP takes place in mitochondria so it is called power house of the cell

and it has its own genetic material and also  chloroplast have its own genetic material
