Mitochondria supply energy to the cell through their production of ATP, adenosine triphosphate. ATP releases energy when it forms ADP, adenosine diphosphate. There are more mitochondria in muscle cells than in skin cells because the muscle cells need more energy. Mitochondria are like the battery pack or dry cellsof the living cells.
Mitochondria can also be the electrical supply of a company or fuel feeding a boiler.

What Bean-shaped organelles release stored energy?
Mitochondria is considered as a powerhouse of a cell.Mitochondria has its own DNA called mitochondrial DNA.Mitochondria can replicate depending on cells need.
Is DNA single stranded?
Not mostly. DNA consists of two polynucleotide chains wound around each other in a right-handed double helix. In living cells, the only time DNA double helix becomes single stranded for a brief amount of time is during DNA replication. However, as with most things, there are exceptions. many viruses contain single stranded DNA (abbreviated ssDNA) as their genetic material.
In-folds of mitochondrial membrane?
Cristae
Sentence using analogy?
An analogy refers to a comparison between two things, usually as a point of clarification. A sample sentence is: "An analogy between his mother and a pig is certainly amusing".
What is the analogy for ubiquitous?
omnipresent
When was Mitochondrial DNA - journal - created?
Mitochondrial DNA - journal - was created in 1980.
Who shares your mitochondrial DNA?
Mitochondrial DNA comes from the mother, so the mother's maternal line and all her children share the same mitochondrial DNA.
What does mitochondrial DNA code for?
Mitochondrial DNA codes for 13 mitochondrial proteins, 16S and 12S rRNA and 22 tRNAs
Where do you get your mitochondrial DNA from?
In most organisms, including humans, the mitochondrial DNA is inherited from the mother.
How much mitochondrial DNA do humans inherit from their fathers?
None, mitochondrial DNA is inherited from the mother.
How does the inheritance of mitochondrial DNA different found in the nucleus of cells?
Mitochondrial dna is inherited solely from the mother.
Which is larger Human mitochondrial DNA or yeast mitochondrial DNA?
Yeast's is (~78kb), while human's is about 17kb
What does chloroplast DNA resemble?
It resembles mitochondrial DNA
What is a analogy for DNA?
Blue prints for a building are an analogy for DNA.
Mitochondrial DNA is replicated independently from nuclear DNA?
Yes
How big is the mitochondrial DNA?
as big as it wants to be
What will damage in mitochondrial DNA have the most effect on?
Damage in mitochondrial DNA will have the most effect on cellular respiration. This is due to the fact that the surface area will be damaged.
