Answer:

A mitochondrion is a double-membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic organisms. Mitochondria generate most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate, used as a source of chemical energy. They were first discovered by Albert von Kölliker in 1880 in the voluntary muscles of insects.

Mitochondria :

  • Mitochondria is a double-membrane-bound organelle found in almost eukaryotic organisms.
  • Mitochondria generate most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), used as a source of (chemical) energy.
  • Mitochondrias are found outside the nucleus, produce energy for the cell through cellular respiration, and are rich in fats, proteins, and enzymes.

Function of the mitochondria :

  • They help to turn the energy we taken from the food into energy, that the cell can use.
  • But, there is more to mitochondria than energy production.
  • Present in nearly all types of human cell, mitochondria are crucial to our survival.
  • They generate the majority of our adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the cell.
  • These mutations are can either be spontaneous or inherited.
  • When mitochondria stop functioning, the cell they are is in starved of energy.
  • So, depending on the type of cell, symptoms can differ widely.
  • As a general rule, cells that need the largest amounts of energy, such as heart muscle cells and nerves, are affected the most by faulty mitochondria.
