Mitochondrion, organelle found in most eukaryotic cells, the primary function of which is to generate energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate. Mitochondria also store calcium for cell signaling activities,...

Present in nearly all types of human cell, mitochondria are vital to our survival. They generate the majority of our adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the cell. Mitochondria are also involved in...

Mitochondria’s primary function is to produce energy through the process of oxidative phosphorylation. Besides this, it is responsible for regulating the metabolic activity of the cell. It also promotes cell...

Mitochondria are involved in breaking down sugars and fats into energy through aerobic respiration (cellular respiration). This metabolic process creates ATP, the energy source of a cell, through a series of steps...

The main function that occurs inside mitochondria is a chemical reaction that creates ATP, a molecule that the body uses for energy. The mitochondria also have some other roles that are not as well understood as ATP...
