These are the small rod like structure found in all the cell (Plant cell as well as the animal cell).
- They provide energy for all activities.
- This energy is produced by the oxidation of food(respiration). Thus, they are often called powerhouse of the cell.
Mitochondria is a part of cell organelle. cell organelle is are the small structure which are scattered in the cytoplasm. Various type of cell organelles present in the cell perform different functions.
- Chemical energy produced by the Mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called (ATP).
- ATP stands for Adenosine triphosphate.
- Mitochondria has double membrane, the inner part being folded inwards to form layers (cristae).

Cytoplasm is a thick jelly like fluid present inside the cell.
- Bounded by the cell membrane.
- It occupies the space between the cell membrane and the nucleus.
- All the chemical reaction of the cell occur in the cytoplasm.
- There are many small cytoplasmic bodies suspended in the cytoplasm.
- These are like mitochondria, Golgi bodies, ribosomes endoplasmic reticulum etc.
