Explanation:

Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical reactions. Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Mitochondria contain their own small chromosomes. Generally, mitochondria, and therefore mitochondrial DNA, are inherited only from the mother.

Answer:

Mitochondria are a membrane-bound organelle present in the cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells. It is responsible for producing Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main energy currency of the cell.

Mitochondria's primary function is to produce energy through the process of oxidative phosphorylation. Besides this, it is responsible for regulating the metabolic activity of the cell. It also promotes cell multiplication and cell growth. Mitochondria also detox ammonia in the liver cells. Moreover, it plays an important role in apoptosis or programmed cell death.
