The part of the cell that produces energy varies between plants and animals. In plants, the energy producing part of the cell occurs in the chloroplast of the plant. In animals, the mitochondria produces the cells energy.

A nerve cell, itself, does not make energy. It releases energy from ATP molecules to create an action potential. This action potential is an electrical impulse that is transmitted along its axon to another nerve cell, a muscle, or a gland.

What does mitochondria do in a nerve cell?

Mitochondria in nerve cells play a critical role in energy production. They generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which serves as the main energy currency for the cell. This ATP is essential for various cellular processes, including nerve impulse transmission, synaptic transmission, and overall neuronal function. Mitochondria are also involved in calcium regulation and the maintenance of cellular homeostasis in nerve cells.
