Detailed explanation-1: -The classic role of mitochondria is oxidative phosphorylation, which generates ATP by utilizing the energy released during the oxidation of the food we eat. ATP is used in turn as the primary energy source for most biochemical and physiological processes, such as growth, movement and homeostasis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondria is called the powerhouse of the cell. The energy required for various chemical activities needed for life is released by mitochondria in the form of ATP or Adenosine Tri-phosphate.
Detailed explanation-3: -Whenever energy is required in the cell the phosphate group from ATP is transferred to other compounds and high energy is released due to the breaking of the phosphodiester bond.
