Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell. They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy rich molecules for the cell. The biochemical processes of the cell are known as cellular respiration. Many of the reactions involved in cellular respiration happen in the mitochondria. Mitochondria are the working organelles that keep the cell full of energy. The process involve with the mitochondria is called cellular respiration. They are small organelles. The muscles need energy so they have a lot of mitochondria’s. The body create more mitochondria’s if for example a neuron feels that it is not going to survive. The mitochondria is made up of two membranes the outer membrane and the inner membrane. The outer membrane protects the organelle and the inner membrane creates layer structures called crystal.
