Question

what is mitrochondria?​

Answer 1

Answer:

an organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner part being folded inwards to form layers (cristae).

Answer 2

Answer:

Definition of mitochondria:

• Mitochondria (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 molecule that cells use as a source of energy.
• The mitochondrion is a semi autonomous double-membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic organisms.

Function of mitochondria:

• Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell.
• They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich molecules for the cell.
• The biochemical processes of the cell are known as cellular respiration.
