Question

function of mitohcondria

Answer 1

formation of ATP for cell. It is also known as Power House of cell.

The most important function of the mitochondria is to produce energy. 1.The simpler molecules of nutrition are sent to the mitochondria to be processed and to produce charged molecules. These charged molecules combine with oxygen and produce ATP molecules. This process is known as oxidative phosphorylation.

2.Mitochondria help the cells to maintain proper concentration of calcium ions within the compartments of the cell.

3.The mitochondria also help in building certain parts of blood and hormones like testosterone and estrogen.
