A mitochondria is special because of it's ability to produce a lot of energy, in the form of ATP. The process that creates all of this energy is called glucose metabolism and happens in 2 main stages:
1) Glycolysis
2) Electron Transport Chain
Glycolysis creates roughly 2 molecules of ATP, whereas the Electron Transport Chain creates roughly 36 molecules of ATP. This means that around 38 molecules of ATP are produced from one molecule of glucose. Pretty good really.

∙ 11y agomitochondria is the site of aerobic respiration. they produce cellular energy in the form of ATP [adinosine tri phosphate] hence they are called the power house of the cell.

What is the job of mitochondria in an animal cell?
The synthesis site of ATP. This is the energy currency of the cell so the job of the mitochondria could be said to be the cell's battery.

Could the cells survive without its mitochondria if all the other organelles were present?
no, mitochondria convert the sugar, can give it(the cell) Nutrients (food) to mainly keep it fresh and alive. Without cells mitochondria can't do its job. Without mitochondria cells can't do their job either
What is the job of the mitochandria?
The mitochondria is the energy source of a cell.
What is the main job of mitochondria in the cell?
To provide energy.
What organ has the job of converting fuel particles into useable energy?
mitochondria is an organelle that does that job
Would you expect a muscle cell to have many or few mitochondria?
You would expect to find many mitochondria in a muscle cell. This is because the mitochondria makes the energy fo a cell, and muscle cells need alot of energy to do their job. The more energy a cell needs to do its job, the more mitochondria it has.
