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?
to produce adenosine triphosphate, aka energy
Which of a cell's organelles energy stored in food?
Mitochrondria releases energy stored in food.
How is dizziness related to mitochondrial disorder?
The mitochrondria main function is to produce ATP. ATP is the currency of cells, with out this currency cell function slows down, then eventually can cease. Therefore, any disorder that leads to substantial reduction in ATP production cause lethal problem in the CNS, which needs a continuous supply of ATP. Cyanide poison works this way. it inhibit the electron transport system in the mitichondria, thus resulting death.
What would the process be called that releases energy?
The process is called metabolism. The mitochrondria function as energy breakdown organelles in the cell. The term for aerobic metabolism is cellular respiration.
When a cell divides each daughter cell receives?
The exact amount of chromosomes as the mother cell, depending on which process the cell is dividing.

First of all the word is mitochrondria.....And no it is not located in the nucleus...
How do you spell mictchondaira?
The word is spelled mitochrondria. Example: Mitochondria are found within cells.
Where is mitochondria found in an animal cell?
Mitochrondria is found in the cytoplasm in animal and plant cells.
Which of a cell's organelles energy stored in food?
Mitochrondria releases energy stored in food.
What is some times called the power house of the cell and releases energy from digested food?
mitochrondria
Where re mitochrondria cells found in animal cells or plant cells?
In the cytoplasm, outside of the nucleus.
Which of cells organelles releases energy stored in food?
Mitochrondria releases energy stored in food.
