Well, honey, the small intestine is a busy place where all the nutrients from your food get absorbed into your body. Those mitochondria are like the powerhouses that help break down those nutrients and turn them into energy for your cells to use. So, basically, the small intestine is like a high-energy nightclub, and those mitochondria are the DJ spinning all the hits.

How do organelles contribute to the function of cells?
If a cell has a relatively large number of, say, mitochondria (sites of respiration), than we know that it needs to release a lot of energy. This applies to the muscles, which have many mitochondria in order for them to contract. This helps us move. Cells where active transport occurs, such as the kidneys and small intestine, also need lots of mitochondria to give off the energy that is necessary for this to take place. You won't find as many mitochondria in a skin cell, because these don't need to carry out respiration.
Is the mitochondria involved in respiration or digestion?
The mitochondria is involved in respiration. It is known as the powerhouse of the cell because it is responsible for producing ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell. Digestion, on the other hand, primarily occurs in the stomach and small intestine.
Why is Mitochondria compared to the small intestine?
The mitochondria in every cell are like a cells digestive system because they take nutrients from their surroundings and create energy about of them. People could not like without a digestive system and mitchondria. The energy that all animals need to survive is called ATP.

Can you breath though your butt?
No. The anus only serves as an exit for waste. There are often large obstructions in the large intestine, in addition to impassable sphincters separating the large and small intestine and the small intestine and the stomach, and the presence of lots of liquids in the small intestine and the stomach. You can breath through your mouth, your nose, or (in the case of some smokers) a small recessed hole in the neck directly connected to the windpipe.

Why is the small intestine called small intestine?
It compared in size to the large intestine it is about twice as small
The major site of nutrient absorption in the body is the?
The major site of nutrient absorption is the small intestine.
Why is the small intestine small?
The small intestine is said to be small because it's diameter is not as large as the large intestine.
What does the small intestine help in?
The small intestine is where your food goes after the stomach. The small intestine digests your food, then sends it to the large intestine.
