What does the Mitochondrion do in a plant cell?
It travels through the cell and bumps into other parts of the cell.
Which organelle provides the energy for moving chromosomes?
The mitochondria provides the energy for moving chromosomes. The mitochondria produces all energy for the cell because that is where all reactions take place.
What is the function of the Mitochondrian?
a type of grass that grows as tall as a sky scraper and is only found on the planet stupitropolis
What is the function of a mitchondrion?
A mitochondrion is like the powerhouse of a cell. They produce energies for the cell to use. If the cell was a train then the mitochondria would be like the coal or the furnace because they make the train move and without it the train wouldn't be able to do anything. That's a basic explanation for it but I'm sure there are better. You can also check online to trusted websites with your parents to find out about mitochondria. Or better yet, ask your science teacher! :D
