GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria: Mitochondria are organelles, they have membranes specialized for aerobic respiration . Oxidation of substances (chemical) takes place in mitochondria. It absorbs oxygen and releases energy and carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is the metabolic process in which oxygen is used to breakdown carbohydrates, fats and proteins to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Mitochondria are the ‘engine room’ of eukaryotic organisms, as they are the main site of cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria interact with the endoplasmic reticulum, lysosomes, cytoskeleton, peroxisomes, and nucleus in several ways, ranging from signal transduction, vesicle transport, and membrane contact sites, to regulate energy metabolism, biosynthetic processes, apoptosis, and cell turnover.
