Aging has been linked to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage in two ways. Mitochondrial DNA provides energy to the cells, when it gets damaged, it will not provide the energy that is needed to function properly, and then the host will get sick. Damaged mitochondrial DNA also plays a role in genetic diseases, it is similar to damaged mitochondrial DNA seen in older humans, but only the damage presents itself much sooner.

Is a mitochondria living or nonliving?
There is no yes or no answer to this question, it is the same with the question on whether or not viruses are alive. It is worth mentioning though, that mitochondria are able to respire unlike viruses. They share a few characteristics with living organisms. Mitochondria poses their own DNA, they reproduce and respire. Mitochondria are similar to bacteria in many ways. A good theory on the origin of mitochondria is that a bacteria survived after being engulfed by a larger cell, and formed a mutual symbiosis. If it helps, my personal opinion is that mitochondria are alive, but heavily dependent on a mutual symbiosis of a host cell.

What is gerontology?
Gerontology is the study of aging and the elderly population. It involves understanding the biological, psychological, and social aspects of aging, as well as exploring ways to improve the quality of life for older individuals. Gerontologists often work in fields such as healthcare, social services, and research to address the needs of an aging population.
What supplies energy for the cell?
The mitochondria is the organelle that produces the energy, but the energy is in the form of ATP or Adenosine TriPhosphate. As a person can make ATP in several ways, the majority of ATP is produced in Mitochondria using the electron transport chain. This is why Mitochondria are referred to the a cell's powerhouse.
