It oxidizes food for energy or by cellular respiration

Answer 2

Mitochondria is one of the vital cell organelles present inside the cell.

Eukaryotic cell has at least one or more number of mitochondria depending on the requirement.

But, those cells with high physiological activity posses a higher number of mitochondria. For example muscle cells and nerve cells have large number of them per cell.

Similarly, those organs with low physiological activity have less number of mitochondria.

Further, in a typical cell, their location varies within the cytoplasm.

But in most cells they are concentrated within the regions of high physiological activity.
