The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

This is from wikipedia:

Mitochondria are sometimes described as "cellular power plants" because they generate most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), used as a source of chemical energy.[2] In addition to supplying cellular energy, mitochondria are involved in a range of other processes, such as signaling, cellular differentiation, cell death, as well as the control of the cell cycle and cell growth.[3] Mitochondria have been implicated in several human diseases, including mitochondrial disorders[4] and cardiac dysfunction,[5] and may play a role in the aging process.

What is the function of mitochrondria in cells?

Endoplasmic reticulum is to mitochrondria as road is to?

Endoplasmic reticulum is to mitochondria as road is to vehicle. Just as the endoplasmic reticulum serves as a network for transporting materials and facilitating processes within the cell, a road provides the infrastructure for vehicles to navigate and transport people or goods. Both pairs illustrate a relationship of support and function in their respective systems.
