Do the neurons contain mitochondria

Answer 1

Yes. Neurons need to contain mitochondria in order to produce enough ATP molecules to open and close the sodium/potassium channels at the axon. It also needs ATP to undergo exocytosis and endocytosis which forms vesicles containing neurotransmitters.

Answer 2

Yes, neurons contain mitochondria. Mitochondria are known as the "powerhouses" of the cell because they generate energy in the form of ATP, which is essential for the functioning of neurons. Neurons have high energy demands due to their electrical activity and signaling functions.
