Mitochondria are the powerhouses of cells because they are the epicenter of the electron transport chain. While glycolysis can occur in the cytoplasm, the bulk of energy production takes place due to a hydrogen concentration gradient found in the mitochondria.

Nickname the powerhouse of the cell?
Mitochondrion
What is the energy generating powerhouse of the cell?
mitochondrias
What Power house of the cell makes energy from sugar?
The powerhouse of the cell is known as mitochondrion.
What does the mitochondrion do for the cell?
it is the powerhouse of cell .it supplies the energy to the cell .
Which is the powerhouse of cell and why is it called so?
The power house of the cell is the Mitochondria (Mitochondrion). It is called this because it takes broken down food (from the lysosomes) and turns them into ATP, which is energy that the cell can use.
What organelle is referred to as the power house?
Mitochondrion in the cytoplasm is referred to as powerhouse of the cell.
The mitochondrion is known as the powerhouse of the eukaryote Why?
it converts sugar molecules into atp for the cell
What oranelle is the power house?
Which organelle is the powerhouse of the cell?The question is asking, "how does the cell get energy?"The cell gets its energy from the mitochondria(mitochondrion).
Which organelle is known as powerhouse of the cell and why?
The mitochondrion is referred to as the "powerhouse" of the cell. The mitochondrion is a membrane bound organalle that converts oxygen and nutrients into Adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The mitochondrian generates most of the cell's supply of ATP. ATP is the primary source of energy for the cell.
What is the nickname for the powerhouse of the cell?
The mitochondrion (pl. mitochondria), found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, is nicknamed the "powerhouse of the cell".The mitochondrion contains the enzymes and complexes of the electron transport chain. Passage of a proton along the electron transport chain catalyses the synthesis of ATP(adenosine triphosphate), which is the "energy currency" of the cell.Cells which are physiologically more active, such as muscle cells, contain more mitochondria, compared to metabolically inactive cells.
What is an organelles that releases stored energy which comes mostly from sugars?
The organelle that releases stored energy which comes mostly from sugars is the mitochondrion. It is called the powerhouse of a cell.
Organelle that produces energy?
Mitochondria produce a cell's energy. They are known as the power house of the cell
