${\huge{\underline{\boxed{\red{Answer}}}}}$

Mycoplasma is the smallest known cell ..

=>Mitochondria is known as the powerhouse of the cell . It generates energy for various activities of cell . That's why it is known as the powerhouse of the cell . Mitochondria are the sites of cellular respiration . They release energy required by the cell in the form of ATP ( Andenosine Triphosphate ). This ATP is known as the energy currency of cell.

Mitochondria are strange organelles in the sense that they have their own DNA and ribosomes , Hence they are able to make their own proteins .

Whenever the cell required energy , ATP molecule breaks down . It generates energy to be used for metabolic activities of the body .
