Mitochondrion is the power house i.e it generates the energy needed for cellular activities.
Triangle!!! =)
Stores atp.
matrix
Energy, in the form of Atp, production.
Yes, a plant cell has several mitochondria
It is found in a plant cell.
makes and stores energy as ATP. Is the "powerplant" of a cell
produces ATP which is an universal energy that is used by the body
They are the 'power houses' of the cell. They take in glucose and then convert it into usable energy.
Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they generate energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through a process called cellular respiration. They play a critical role in converting nutrients into energy that the cell can use for various functions like growth, repair, and movement.
A zygote would not pass its "self-test". Embryos screen for several genetic conditions, including impotent mitochondria. The lysosomes of the developing child will explode and apopstosis or "programmed cell suicide" will occur. Theoretically however, an organism could live for a short time without mitochondria. We would just undergo anaerobic respiration but eventuall atrophy from the lactic acid by product. Please read about the Electron transport chain (to understand the importance of mitchondrion) and feel free to comment me if you would like a copy of an article I recently wrote about it.
