Mitochondria list (plural mitochondria) are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells. They are often referred to as the "powerhouses of the cell" because their primary function is to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a molecule that serves as the main source of chemical energy for cellular processes. This energy production occurs through a process called cellular respiration, which involves the breakdown of glucose and other fuel molecules in the presence of oxygen.
Mitochondria have a unique structure, characterized by a double membrane. The outer membrane is smooth and
Beyond energy production, mitochondria play roles in various other cellular functions, including calcium homeostasis, programmed cell
Mitochondria are thought to have originated from an ancient symbiotic event where a host cell engulfed a
