Expert Solution

Step 1

Introduction

Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. They are often referred to as the "powerhouses" of the cell because they are responsible for producing most of the ATP that fuels cellular processes. ATP is the main source of energy for the cell and is required for various functions such as muscle contraction, cell division, and DNA synthesis.
