Answer:

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich molecules for the cell. The biochemical processes of the cell are known as cellular respiration. Many of the reactions involved in cellular respiration happen in the mitochondria. Mitochondria are the working organelles that keep the cell full of energy.

Answer:

Explanation:

Structure :

  1. Mitochondria is a double - membrane cell organelle.
  2. The outer membrane covers the organelle and contains it like a skin.

3.The inner membrane folds over many times and creates layered structures called cristae. The fluid in the mitochondria is called the matrix

Function :

The most prominent roles of mitochondria are to produce the energy currency of the cell, ATP (i.e., phosphorylation of ADP), through respiration, and to regulate cellular metabolism. The central set of reactions involved in ATP production are collectively known as the citric acid cycle, or the Krebs cycle.
