what is mitochondria??????
Answers
Answer:
♦️Mitochondria is a double membrane bound cell organelle.
♦️The outer membrane is very porous and the inner membrane is deeply folded into finger like projection called cristae.
♦️It creates large surface area for ATP generating chemical reactions.
♦️Space between outer and inner membrane is called intermembrane space.
♦️Mitochindrion is a self replicating organelle.
♦️ It is the largest organelle in animal cells.

Answer:
Mitochondria are rod shaped or sausage shaped cell organelles which are known as powerhouse of the cell which contain enzymes in necessary for the oxidation of food during the process of respiration and for the release of energy in the form of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate)
ATP is also known as the energy currency of the cell this energy is used by cell to perform various functions such as mechanical work and biosynthesis of new chemical compounds.
mitochondria is bounded by double membrane the outer membrane is porus and the inner membrane is deeply folded these foods are known as Cristae and they provide a large surface area for ATP generating chemical reactions mitochondria have their own DNA ribosomes and enzymes to manufacture their own proteins so they are also known as semi autonomous bodies
