What is Mitochondria?
Mitochondria are the energy producing organelles (tiny organs) of cells. They are called the Powerhouse of the cell.
They have two membranes. The inner membrane has many folds called cristae. Inside this membrane, the nutrients in the food get broken down and mixed with oxygen to produce an energy source molecule called ATP, or adenosine triphosphate. It gives energy to the cell to move, divide and grow. It helps in apoptosis, which means programmed cell death.
Matrix is a viscous fluid containing enzymes, ribosomes, etc.
Animals need more energy as they move about. Therefore, animal cells have more mitochondria than plant cells, as plants have limited movement.

Very nice explanation
Simple but revealing blog. Good
Did not see such simple explanation elsewhere. Way to go
Highly descriptive post, I liked that bit. Will there be a part 2?
Good blog
Hi there! I know this is kind of off topic but I
was wondering which blog platform are you using for this website?
I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives
for another platform. I would be fantastic if you could
point me in the direction of a good platform.
Hi there to all, for the reason that I am actually keen of reading this blog’s
post to be updated regularly. It consists of good material.
Your site is good, but articles like these are less. Please write more
Good, loved it!
Had not understood in school. This is clear and simple
First of all I want to say terrific blog! I had a
quick question which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your thoughts before writing.
I have had a difficult time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there.
I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first
10 to 15 minutes are wasted just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any recommendations or tips? Appreciate it!
I really enjoy examining on this web site, it has got wonderful posts.
Superb post however , I was wanting to know if
you could write a litte more on this topic? I’d be very grateful
if you could elaborate a little bit more. Appreciate it!
