Question

  • \footnotesize{\bold{what~is~ mitochondria.    }} 

Answer:

  • Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles present in the cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells, that produces adinosine triphosphate (ATP), the main energy molecule used by the cell.

  • Mitochondria known as the “Powerhouse of the cell,”.

  • mitochondria are a double membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic organisms.

  • They are found inside the cytoplasm and essentially functions as the cell’s “digestive system.”

Structure of Mitochondria:

  • The mitochondrion is a double-membraned, rod-shaped structure found in both plant and animal cell.

  • Its size ranges from 0.5 to 1.0 micrometre in diameter.

  • The structure comprises an outer membrane, an inner membrane, and a gel-like material called the matrix.

  • The outer membrane and the inner membrane are made of proteins and phospholipid layers separated by the intermembrane space.

  • The outer membrane covers the surface of the mitochondrion and has a large number of special proteins known as porins.

  • It is freely permeable to ions, nutrient molecules, energy molecules like the ADP and ATP molecules.

Answer:

A mithochondria is a double membrane-bound organelle found in most eykaryotic organisms .Mithochondria generate most of the cells supply of adenosine triphosphrate,used as a source of chemical energy .Mithochondria were first discovered by Kolliker in the voluntary muscles of insects.
