Mitochondria are membrane-enclosed organelle found in most eukarytoc cells. Mitochondria are sometimes called as cellular power plants because they generate most of the cell's supply of ATP which is used as a source of chemical energy. Mitocondria also perform functions as cell death and signalling.
Examples of mitochondria-associated processes include cellular respiration, ATP production, apoptosis regulation, and calcium signaling within cells.
Mitochondria in plant cells are responsible for generating energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. They are the powerhouses of the cell, converting sugars and oxygen into ATP to fuel various cellular processes.
In a basic sense, eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic cells in their shape, function, differentiation and speciation. One theory that strongly supports eukaryotic evolution from prokaryotic cells is in the mitochondria. Mitochondria actually has its own DNA that is passed from generation to generation, The structure of the mitochondria is very similar to a basic prokaryotic cell, and some research has even indicated that the mito-DNA is actually similar to old bacterial DNA. This supports that perhaps at one point, a eukaryotic cell injested a bacterial cell, and instead of digesting it, the bacterium just stayed inside the euklaryotic cell and the two became one (this is a gross oversimplification, but the general idea remains the same).
No, cellular respiration and photosynthesis cannot occur in the same cell at the same time because they have opposite requirements. Cellular respiration requires oxygen and glucose to produce energy, while photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen. They are typically balanced out in plants over a day-night cycle.
