Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria play host to one of the most important processes in your body, called cellular respiration. Taking in glucose and oxygen, mitochondria produce energy, which they capture and package as energy-rich molecules of ATP.
Detailed explanation-2: -The female egg is the largest cell in the human body and the richest in mitochondria – the energy powerhouse for all of our cellular activities. The egg is tasked with many energy-demanding activities, including ensuring the correct amount of genetic materials passed down to our offspring.
Detailed explanation-3: -Solution. Mitochondria are the sites of respiration in the cell. Mitochondria forms energy in the form of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) during the process of respiration. Therefore, they are called the powerhouse of the cell.
