Question

what is mitochondria

Answer 1

Answer:

A mitochondrion (/ˌmaɪtəˈkɒndriən/;[1] pl. mitochondria) is a double-membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic organisms. Mitochondria generate most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), used as a source of chemical energy.[2] Mitochondria were first discovered by Albert von Kölliker in 1880 in the voluntary muscles of insects. The mitochondrion is popularly nicknamed the "powerhouse of the cell", a phrase first coined by Philip Siekevitz in a 1957 article of the same name.

Answer 2

Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles present in the cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells.

They are responsible for producing Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main energy currency of the cell.

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.
