Answer:

Hi Dude,....

Good Nig....

Good Ques....

Explanation:

Although the best-known role of mitochondria is energy production, they carry out other important tasks as well.

In fact, only about 3 percent of the genes needed to make a mitochondrion go into its energy production equipment. The vast majority are involved in other jobs that are specific to the cell type where they are found.

Below, we cover a few of the roles of the mitochondria:

Producing energy

ATP, a complex organic chemical found in all forms of life, is often referred to as the molecular unit of currency because it powers metabolic processes. Most ATP is produced in mitochondria through a series of reactions, known as the citric acid cycle or the Krebs cycle.

Energy production mostly takes place on the folds or cristae of the inner membrane.

Mitochondria convert chemical energy from the food we eat into an energy form that the cell can use. This process is called oxidative phosphorylation.

The Krebs cycle produces a chemical called NADH. NADH is used by enzymes embedded in the cristae to produce ATP. In molecules of ATP, energy is stored in the form of chemical bonds. When these chemical bonds are broken, the energy can be used.

if it is helpful means just leave a thnks.....

Hii mate here is your answer:-

Mitochondria is the cell organelle which is of different shape but specially sausage-like or bean shape. It have their own DNA and ribisomes.

Their functions is to synthesis of respiratory enzymes and release energy from pyruvic acid produced in cytoplasm in the form of ATP. It is the seat of cellular aerobic respiration and stores energy.

I hope its helps you..............
