what is the function of mitichondria
Answers
Answer:
Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical reactions. Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Answer:
Mitochondria are known as the power house of the cell.
Explanation:
Mitochondria are double membrane bound cell organelle which generate most of the cells' supply of adenosine tri phosphate (ATP) as it is the site of aerobic respiration within eukaryotic cells. ATP is the source of chemical energy for all living cells, hence they are called power house of cell.
In addition to supplying cellular energy, mitochondria are involved in cellular processes like cell signaling, cell differentiation and cell death.
