Mitochondria as it stores energy in the form of ATP(adenosine tri phosphate) and releases it when the cell needs hence it is said as power house of the cell and mitochondria is organelle of the cell present in cytoplasm.
Mitochondria is the power house of the cell. Because mitochondria responsible for cellular respiration.
Mitochondria is the powerhouse of cell
which produced the ATP(adinosin tri phosphate) simply called the coin of energy
Mitochondria are known as the ‘Powerhouse of the Cells’.These are miniature biochemical factories where food stuffs or respiratory substrates are completely oxidised to carbon dioxide and water. The energy liberated in the process is initially stored in the form of reduced coenzymes and reduced prosthetic groups. The latter undergoes oxidation and form energy rich ATP. ATP comes out of the mitochondria and helps perform various energy requiring processes of the cell like muscle contraction, nerve impulse conduction, biosynthesis, cell division etc. Because of the formation of ATP, the mitochondria are called power houses of the cell.
