I have 3 years of tutoring experience so let's come to me and be a smart learner.

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell. They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and create energy-abundant molecules for the battery. The biochemical process of the cell is known as cellular respiration.

Mitochondria is a Greek word. Mitos - thread and chondroitin - granule. (Singular: mitochondrion).Kolliker first observed mitochondria. Later Altmann named them as Bioplasts. Finally, Benda called them Mitochondria.Shape:They are typically sausage-shaped. They can be cylindrical, rod, spherical, granular, filamentous or thread like also.Size:0.2 micron meters to 2-micron meters.Location:They are distributed in cytoplasm bounded by a double membrane envelope. Two membranes are separated by peri-mitochondrial space. Membrane shape:1) Outer membrane: smooth2) Inner membrane: fingers like structure called cristae, which possess a small rounded body called F1 particles or Oxysomes. They help in electron transport.The interior cavity is filled with a proteinaceous matrix containing lipids, proteins, circular DNA and RNA.Note:Mitochondria are absent in bacteria and the red blood cells of mammals. It is the powerhouse of the cell. It stores energy in the form of ATP. read less
