GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell’s biochemical reactions. Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondria produce energy through the process of cellular respiration. The mitochondria take food molecules in the form of carbohydrates and combine them with oxygen to produce the ATP. They use proteins called enzymes to produce the correct chemical reaction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria are integral to normal cellular function as they are responsible for energy production in eukaryotes, including the synthesis of phospholipids and heme, calcium homeostasis, apoptotic activation and cell death.

Detailed explanation-4: -The connections between the two organelles in biogenesis, degradation, and fission. Mitochondria participate in the formation of peroxisomes.
