The powerhouse of cells are the Mitochondria. They play a very important role called cellular respiration. This is the process where the cell takes in glucose and oxygen. Both are necessary to maintain life.

The powerhouses of the cell are the?
Golgi Bodies
What are organelles of a cell?
There are 8 organelles in cells. They are:cytoplasmenzymeribosomesendoplasmic reticulummitochondriavacuoleslipidsnucleus
What organelles do cells have?
all cells, no matter what type or function have cells. think of the cell as a human being and the organelles as well organs. each cell has a variable number of organelles and the organelles have a highly specific function and they all cooperate with one another. the cell that contains organelles is chloroplasts.
What is cytoplsm?
the jellylike substance that holds all of the organelles within the cell in place.
How are organisms in the domain Eukarya different from those in the domain Archaea?
Archaea have no nucleus
What is the powerhouses cell?
The powerhouses of the cell are called the mitochondria.
What is a cell part that contains so much energy that it is called the powerhouse of a cell?
Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. They are organelles that provide the cell with energy. They take in the nutrients, break them down and create energy rich molecules for the cell to perform it's various functions.
What is the powerhose of the cell?
The "powerhouses" of animal cells are the mitochondria. Within the mitochondria. These specialized organelles produce a cell energy currency known as ATP (adenosine phosphate).
What are tiny cell structures that carry out specific functions within the cell called?
Organelles
Which organelles is the powerhouse of the cell and why?
The mitochondria is often described as the powerhouses of the cells. This is because cellular respiration takes place on the cristae and matrix of this structure, providing ATP and energy for the cell and organism.
What are the powerhouses of the cell becase they are the organelles in which the second stage of cellular respiration takes place?
They are the mitochondria. Electron transport chain and Kreb cycle take place there
What do cell organelles float around inside a cell?
This is called the cytoplasm which fills the cell.
What is a mitchchondria?
Mitochondria are organelles in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. They act like a digestive system that takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy for the cell. They are known as the powerhouses of the cell.
What are all of the cell parts called?
Cell parts are called organelles.
Tiny organs of the cell are called?
organelles are the answer
Why are mitochondria called powerhouses of a cell?
Because they generate energy.They produce energy through respiration.
What are the tiny organs are in a cell?
Tiny organs in a cell are called organelles (organ-like). This includes the nucleus, Golgi body, mitochondria and others.
