what is mictrocondria?Give it's structure name's

Answer 1

Mitochondria [1] (sing. mitochondrion) are organelles, or parts of a eukaryote cell. They are in the cytoplasm, not the nucleus.

They make most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a moleculethat cells use as a source of energy. Their main job is to convert energy. They oxidiseglucose to provide energy for the cell. The process makes ATP, and is called cellular respiration.[2] This means mitochondria are known as "the powerhouse of the cell"[3].

In addition to supplying cellular energy, mitochondria are involved in a range of other processes, such as signalling, cellular differentiation, cell death, as well as the control of the cell division cycle and cell growth.[4]

STRUCTURE:-

A mitochondrion contains two membranes. These are made of phospholipid double layers and proteins. The two membranes have different properties. Because of this double-membraned organization, there are five distinct compartments within the mitochondrion. They are:

the outer mitochondrial membrane,the intermembrane space (the space between the outer and inner membranes),the inner mitochondrial membrane,the cristae space (formed by infoldings of the inner membrane), andthe matrix (space within the inner membrane). Mitochondria are small, spherical or cylindrical organelles. Generally a mitochondrion is 2.8 microns long and about 0.5 microns wide. it is about 150 times smaller than the nucleus. There are about 100-150 mitochondria in each cell.

Answer 2

Mitochondria (singular: mitochondrion) are organelles within eukaryotic cells that produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main energy molecule used by the cell. For this reason, the mitochondrion is sometimes referred to as “the powerhouse of the cell”. Mitochondria are found in all eukaryotes, which are all living things that are not bacteria or archaea. It is thought that mitochondria arose from once free-living bacteria that were incorporated into cells.
