what does mitochondrai mean?

Answer 1

Tiny-oval-shaped organelles, called mitochondria, provide cells with energy. Mitochondria are often referred to as 'power house' of the cell, because the mitochondria are the centres of cell respiration. In respiration, sugar molecules are combined with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, water and energy that the cell can use.

Answer 2

Mitochondria are rod-shaped organelles that can be considered the power generators of the cell, converting oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the chemical energy "currency" of the cell that powers the cell's metabolic activities. This process is called aerobic respiration and is the reason animals breathe oxygen. Without mitochondria (singular, mitochondrion), higher animals would likely not exist because their cells would only be able to obtain energy from anaerobic respiration (in the absence of oxygen), a process much less efficient than aerobic respiration. In fact, mitochondria enable cells to produce 15 times more ATP than they could otherwise, and complex animals, like humans, need large amounts of energy in order to survive.

Answer 3

The mitochondria are the principal energy source of the cell. Mitochondria convert nutrients into energy as well as doing many other specialized tasks.

dnt know if im correct but u really didnt specify what are you are looking at it from

Answer 4

A cell organelle that produces ATP ( a substance that's important for providing the cell with energy and for growth)

Answer 5

Mitochondria is an organelle ( I believe) in the cell which produces energy.
