Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria (singular, mitochondrion) are often called the powerhouses or energy factories of the cell. Their job is to make a steady supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell’s main energy-carrying molecule.
Detailed explanation-2: -Energy Conversion: Mitochondria and Chloroplasts-Molecular Biology of the Cell-NCBI Bookshelf.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria: the energy converters Mitochondria, using oxygen available within the cell convert chemical energy from food in the cell to energy in a form usable to the host cell. The process is called oxidative phosphorylation and it happens inside mitochondria.
