Mitochondria are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use.

Detailed explanation-4: -A chromosome is a DNA molecule that contains the genetic information for an organism. The chromosomal structure is composed of the organism’s DNA and special proteins to form the dense, coiled architecture.
