Question

Power House of the cell​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. Mitochondria have two membrane coverings. The outer membrane is porous while the inner membrane is deeply folded. These folds increase surface area for ATP - generating chemical reactions. The energy required for various chemical activities needed for life is released by mitochondria in the form of ATP [Adenosine triphosphate] molecules. ATP is known as the energy currency of the cell. The body uses energy stored in ATP for making new chemical compounds and for mechanical work.
