NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria are unusual organelles. They act as the power plants of the cell, are surrounded by two membranes, and have their own genome. They also divide independently of the cell in which they reside, meaning mitochondrial replication is not coupled to cell division.

Detailed explanation-2: -The power stations of the cell are called mitochondria and the most common fuel that they consume is sugar (glucose). In this case the energy generated is passed on, not as electricity, but as small universal molecules called ATP (the energy source of the molecule).

Detailed explanation-3: -Like animal cells, plant cells also have mitochondria. The mitochondria play a critical role in integrating the sugar that is produced in the cell to generate energy. Mitochondria are necessary for plants to produce energy in ATP form, which is normally done during the day through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria are the power plants of the cells. They transform energy taken up through nourishment into a form the cells can use for a multitude of necessary metabolic reactions. In addition, mitochondria are responsible for triggering programmed cell death.

Detailed explanation-5: -JJ Watt on Twitter: “Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.” / Twitter.
