Mitochondria is known as the power house of the cell because the energy required for various chemical activities is created and stored by it in the form of ATP molecules.ATP is known as the energy currency of the cell.The body uses energy stored in ATP for making new chemical compounds and for mechanical work.

Does mitochondria carry energy?
No the mitochondria does not capture energy however it does release it as a byproduct of cellular respiration
Why are mitochondria considered the power house cells of a plant cells?
Respiration is energy producing process. It is conducted in mitochondria.
What is the process by which cells release energy in food to carry on life's processes?
photosynthesis
What is the process by which plants release energy in food to carry on life processes?
Cellular respiration is the process by which plants release energy in food to carry on life processes. During cellular respiration, plants breathe through the cells in their leaves.
What is the job shared by chloroplast and mitochondria?
Chloroplasts are located in the cytoplasm of plants cells whilst Mitochondria are found in animal cells. In short, they both produce ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) which is like the "currency" of energy for a living organism. You can think of them as little power stations for the cell. Chloroplasts produce ATP by the Hills cycle in the cyclic-photophosphorylation process of the light dependant reaction of Photosynthesis. Mitochondria produce ATP via the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. This process is more complex than photosynthesis in my opinion. It's basically the conversion of a glucose molecule into 36 ATP (different websites will give different values like 32, 34 or 38). I hope this helps steer you in the right direction. :) It's quite a complex question and I wasn't sure how detailed you wanted me to go.
Mitochondria are vital to the functioning of a cell What do mitochondria provide for the cell?
Mitochondria release energy for cellular activities. Yes, they carry a lare payload of "adenosine triphosphate" molecuales which release large amounts of energy when they are de-composed.
How are mitochondria and chloroplast different?
Chloroplasts have chlorophyll, mitochondria don't. Chloroplast carry out photosynthesis and produce glucose. Mitochondria carry out respiration and break down glucose
What function is used to carry out mitochondria?
Mitochondria produce cellular energy
What function does a mitohondrion perform?
The mitochondria carry out the process of aerobic respiration and produce the energy-carrier molecule ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
What is the function of mitocondia?
Mitochondria (found in the cytoplasm) help carry out some of the reactions of respiration to release energy that the cell can use :)
Does mitochondria carry energy?
No the mitochondria does not capture energy however it does release it as a byproduct of cellular respiration
What does he mitochondria do?
carry out cellular respiration
Do mitochondria capture light energy?
No,chloroplasts do that. Mitochondria carry out aerobic respiration
Why are mitochondria considered the power house cells of a plant cells?
Respiration is energy producing process. It is conducted in mitochondria.
Which part of a cell provides the energy that the other parts need to carry out their functions?
The mitochondria is the cell organelle that carries out the process of cellular respiration, which creates energy for the cell. The mitochondria is commonly called the "powerhouse" of the cell.
What produces the most energy the cells need to carry out its function?
mitochondria
What produces most of the energy the cell needs to carry it's functions?
Describe How The Cell Get The Energy They Need To Carry On Their Activities?Cells get the energy they need to carry on their activities from a process called cellular respiration. This process is a series of chemical reactions in which energy stored in food is converted to a form of energy that cell can use.
