Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria-Mitochondria are oblong shaped organelles that are found in the cytoplasm of every eukaryotic cell. In the animal cell, they are the main power generators, converting oxygen and nutrients into energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cytoplasm of both plant and animal eukaryotic cells are composed of numerous membrane-and non-membrane bound organelles suspended in cytosol. Take a closer look at the structures of a eukaryotic cell with the study unit below.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria are found in the cells of nearly every eukaryotic organism, including plants and animals. Cells that require a lot of energy, such as muscle cells, can contain hundreds or thousands of mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-4: -Both plant and animal cells are eukaryotic, so they contain membrane-bound organelles like the nucleus and mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-5: -Small structures in a cell that are found in the cytoplasm (fluid that surrounds the cell nucleus). Mitochondria make most of the energy for the cell and have their own genetic material that is different from the genetic material found in the nucleus.
