Mitochondria are often called the "powerhouse of the cell" because they produce ATP from sugar and other organic molecules. The name means "thread bodies" about the same size as a bacterium. They have two membranes with the inner membrane folded to form partial partitions in the cavity. The enzymes needed for cellular respiration are found in the mitochondria of the cell. They are found in all eukaryotic cells.

ATP is important for a variety of functions, such as active transport, muscle contraction and protein synthesis.

Although ATP is used for transferring energy, it isn't good storing large amounts of energy for extended periods of time.
