Answer 2

Mitochondria are well-defined cytoplasmic organelles of the cell which take part in a variety of cellular metabolic functions. Survival of the cells requires energy to perform different functions. The mitochondria are important as the fact that these organelles supply all the necessary biological energy of the cell, and they obtain this energy by oxidizing the substrates of the Krebs cycle. Energy of the cell is got from the enzymatic oxidation of chemical compounds in the mitochondria. Hence, the mitochondria re referred to as the 'power houses' of the cell. Almost all the eukaryotic cell have mitochondria, though they are lost in the later stages of development of cell like in the red blood cells or in elements of phloem sieve tube.  

In 1890, mitochondria was first described by Richard Altmann and he called them as bioblasts. Benda in the year 1897 coined the term mitochondrion. In the 1920s, a biochemist Warburg found that oxidative reactions takes place in most tissues in small parts of the cell......
