Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Entamoeba histolytica Mitochondrion-Derived Organelle (Crypton) Contains Double-Stranded DNA and Appears To Be Bound by a Double Membrane.
Detailed explanation-2: -The anaerobic protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica has mitosomes that are mitochondria lacking some canonical functions and organelle DNA. Mitosomes play an important role in the life cycle of the parasite.
Detailed explanation-3: -The mitochondrion is referred to as the ‘power house’ of the cell, because it is responsible for the synthesis of the majority of ATP under aerobic conditions. The inner membrane of the mitochondrion contains the components of the electron transport chain.
