Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The primary function of mitochondria is to perform cellular respiration. When a cell respires, energy is produced in the form of ATP by mitochondria. These are often known as the powerhouse of the cell as they provide energy to the cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondria are double membrane bound cytoplasmic organelles present in most eukaryotic cells. They are responsible for aerobic respiration, producing energy for the cell, which they achieve through oxidative phosphorylation.
Detailed explanation-3: -While most aerobic respiration (with oxygen) takes place in the cell’s mitochondria, and anaerobic respiration (without oxygen) takes place within the cell’s cytoplasm.
