1. Function of mitochondria:
Mitochondria are known as the "powerhouses" of the cell because they generate energy through cellular respiration.
2. Energy storage form:
The energy produced in mitochondria is stored in the form of Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP), which serves as the main energy currency of the cell.
3. ATP role:
ATP provides energy for various cellular processes by releasing energy when its phosphate bonds are broken.
