Describe the structure and function of power houses of cell?
Thanks!
Answers
Answer:
mitochondria is the power house of the cell
mitochondria have two membrane coverings .
the outer memebrane is porous while the inner membrane is deeply folded.
the energy required for various chemical activities needed for life is released by mitochondria in the form of atp.
atp is known as the energy currency of the cell.
( adenonsine triophopshate)
mitochondria are strange organelles in the sense
that they have their own DNA And ribosomes.
therefore mitochondria are able to make some of their own proteins.

hope this answer will help u
❤.Mitochondria are the power houses of cell.
❤. These cell organelles are bounded by a double membrane .
❤. Typically, a mitochondria is sausage shaped or cylindrical shaped.
❤. The inner membrane divides its lumen into two compartments.
❤. The inner compartment is called matrix.
❤. The matrux contains singlebstranded circular DNA, 70S ribosomes and RNA .
❤. The outer membrane forms the continuous limiting boundary.
❤. The inner membrane forms a number of infoldings called cristae.
❤. The cristae increases the surface area.
❤. The two membranes have their own specefic enzymes related to their function.
♥.FUNCTIONS :
- ❤.Mitochondria are the sites of aerobic respiration.
- ❤.They produce cellular energy in form of ATP. Hence they are called power houses of the cell
