Question

Mitochondria are the sites of respiration in the cell. They oxidize carbohydrates and fats present in the cell to produce carbon dioxide, water and a lot of energy. The energy so released is stored in the form of ATP molecules. Since mitochondria in the cell are used to synthesize energy so, they are also called:

(a) Energy currency of the cell

(b) Energy generator of the cell

(c) Kitchen of the cell

(d) Power house of the cell​

Answer 1

Answer:

They are called power house of cell.

Answer 2

Answer:

Since mitochondria in the cell are used to synthesize energy so, they are also called: (d) Power house of the cell​

Explanation:

• The cell organelles called mitochondria are in charge of making ATP, the energy currency of the cell.
• Mitochondria, also referred to as the "Powerhouse of the Cell," are double membrane-bound organelles that are present in the majority of eukaryotic species. They are located inside the cytoplasm and serve as the "digestive system" of the cell.

• They are crucial in the breakdown of nutrients and the production of molecules that are high in energy for the cell.
• The mitochondria are the sites of many metabolic processes involved in cellular respiration.
• The Greek terms "mitos" and "chondrion," which mean "thread" and "granules-like," respectively, are the source of the English word "mitochondrion." Richard Altmann, a German pathologist, published the first description of it in 1890.
