hey
here is your answer.
answer no.1- In cellular system when different metabolic pathways like glycolysis, krebs cycle and Beta oxidation occur then a very important molecule NADH is generated. These NADH molecules are transferred to mitochondria where they take part in electron transport to generate energy coin molecules ATPs. Each NADH molecule gives two electrons which are transferred ultimately to an oxygen molecule. In this whole process energy equivalent to 2.5 ATPs is generated. In cellular systems this is the major process to generate energy that is why we call mitochondria as powerhouse of cells.
answer no.2- Mitochondria are tiny organelles inside cells that are involved in releasing energy from food. This process is known as cellular respiration.
It is for this reason that mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell. And it is also for this reason that cells which are involved in high energy production, like muscle cells, can contain thousands of mitochondria.
When the breakdown products from the digestion of food find their way into the cell, a series of chemical reactions occur in the cytoplasm. This allows some of the energy locked up in these products to be released and incorporated into the universal energy supplier in cells known as adenosine triphosphate or ATP.
Remaining molecular fragments from this process then enter the mitochondria, and in a complex series of steps, they are finally converted into carbon dioxide and water. The energy locked up in these fragments is incorporated into more ATP.
The ATP molecules produced in this way can then be used by the cell to supply the energy needed to function. ATP → ADP + P + energy to function.

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell because it is responsible for the extracting energy from food through cellular respiration .
The energy is released in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) it is an energy currency of the cell .
