Mitochondria are known as the "powerhouses" of the cell because they produce the energy currency of the cell, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), through cellular respiration. They are also involved in other cellular processes such as apoptosis (cell death) and calcium regulation.

What is a Mitochondrias?

The mitochondria's job is to provide energy for cells. It produces ATP adenosine triphosphate which is used by the cells.


Do plant cells need a mitochondria?

yes, plant cells need mitochondrias too


What is the purpose of the mitochondrias of the plant cell?

Mitochondria derive energy for all cells, plant or animal, in which they reside. They are the aerobic energy-derivers of eukaryotic cells. Plants require energy for multitudinous cellular processes just like animals and that is what the mitochondria are for.
