Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich molecules for the cell. In cellular respiration sugar with the help of oxygen is broken down into ATP (energy molecule).
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
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.
