The primary function of mitochondria in any eukaryote is to produce ATP. ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate, and is the primary energy molecule in the cell. Other functions that the mitochondria play an important role in are signaling, cellular differentiation, and cellular growth and death. They are so important, that there are around 1 to 2 thousand mitochondria in a single cell!

∙ 11y agoThe Mitochondria is a membraneous organelle in which aerobic cellular respiration produces the energy carrier ATP. It basically provides energy for the cell and its functions. The Mitochondria also have an inner fluid that is called the Matrix. It contains DNA, ribosomes, and enzymes which break down carbohydrate products, releasing energy that is used for ATP production.
Note: ATP is just a fancy term used for energy

What cell produce most of the cell energy?
Mitochondria or mitochondrion
Are there mitochondria in an animal cell?
yes both animal and plant cells have mitochondria
Where is the mitochondria inside the animal cell?
mitochondria is located inside of the cell's membrane
What is the function of mito chondria in a plant cell?
to breifly answer your questions: the mitochondria produces energy to the cell.
Which do animal cells not have a mitochondria chloroplasts a nucleus or a cell membrane?
All animal cells have a nucleus and mitochondria. The cell you are describing is a prokaryotic cell, such as a bacterium.
What job does the mitochondria have in the plant cell?
The job of the mitochondria has in it plant cell is the same job that mitochondria have in animal cell. The mitochondria makes energy for the cell to function.
What is the function of protein synthesis in an animal cell?
mitochondria
What is the function of mito chondrion?
The purpose of mitochondria in a cell is to basically convert food into energy. Imagine it as the powerhouse of a cell.
What is the function of the animal cell mitochondria?
It has a universal function. That is to produce energy
What does a mitochondria in an animal cell do?

What does a mitochondria in animal cell do?
The MITOCHONDRIA is the main power house of the cell. It creates most of the energy in the cell.
Where is the mitochondria inside the animal cell?
mitochondria is located inside of the cell's membrane
What is the primary function of the mitochondria cell part?
Primary function of mitochondria is to produce energy.It act as the power house of cell.
What is the primary function of a Mitochondria cell part?
Primary function of mitochondria is to produce energy.It act as the power house of cell.
