Best Answer

Mitochondria are often called the "powerhouse of the cell" because they produce ATP from sugar and other organic molecules. The name means "thread bodies" about the same size as a bacterium. They have two membranes with the inner membrane folded to form partial partitions in the cavity. The enzymes needed for cellular respiration are found in the mitochondria of the cell. They are found in all eukaryotic cells.
