Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria are unusual organelles. They act as the power plants of the cell, are surrounded by two membranes, and have their own genome. They also divide independently of the cell in which they reside, meaning mitochondrial replication is not coupled to cell division.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondria are tiny organelles inside cells that are involved in releasing energy from food. This process is known as cellular respiration. It is for this reason that mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria carry out a variety of important processes in plants. Their major role is the synthesis of ATP through the coupling of a membrane potential to the transfer of electrons from NADH to O2 via the electron transport chain.
