Mitochondria are organelles, the small objects in the cell that carry out the necessary functions of life. Mitochondria themselves carry out cellular respiration and create energy (ATP) for eukaryotic cells - for this reason they are sometimes called the "powerhouse" of the cell. Mitochondria are found in all eukaryotic cells to turn any kind of food into energy, whether that organism created it or not.
A mitochondria is an organelle in a cell which converts pyruvate to ATP. pyruvate comes from the breakdown of glucose and ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate. The cell uses ATP to power cell functions.
Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles that generate the majority of a cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is used as a source of chemical energy. They are commonly referred to as the powerhouse of the cell due to their role in producing energy through cellular respiration. Mitochondria also play a critical role in other cellular processes, such as apoptosis (programmed cell death) and signaling.

Does mosses have a mitochondria?
Mosses belong to Plantae. So it have mitochondria
Are nearly all of the mitochondria in your cells were inherited from your mother?
All mitochondria are from mother.No mitochondria inherit from father
What is the organelle that powerhouse of the cell?
it is the Mitochondria hope that help cause I'm studying it too
Which of these cellular organelles have their own DNA?
Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA. Mitochondria DNA is circular, similar to bacterial DNA, and is inherited maternally. Chloroplasts also have circular DNA and are thought to have originated from endosymbiotic relationships with ancient prokaryotes.
Is the mitochondria studded with ribosomes?
Yes, mitochondria have their own ribosomes. These ribosomes are responsible for producing some of the proteins needed by the mitochondria to generate energy through a process called oxidative phosphorylation.
What is the organelle where respiration occurs?
Cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria.
Mitochondria in a restaurant?
Mitochondria in a restaurant
What is the cell's power plant?
It is an organelle called the mitochondria
What is the singular of mitochondria?
The singular of mitochondria is mitochondrion. Mitochondria are small structures found in cells that are responsible for producing energy.
What organelle is responsible for converting food into energy?
The mitochondria is the organelle responsible for converting food into energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through cellular respiration.
What is a synonym of mitochondria?
Powerhouse of the cell
Does mosses have a mitochondria?
Mosses belong to Plantae. So it have mitochondria
Are nearly all of the mitochondria in your cells were inherited from your mother?
All mitochondria are from mother.No mitochondria inherit from father
Mitochondria are like kidneys in that they filter out waste?
No, mitochondria do not filter waste. Mitochondria create energy for the cell.
