Generation

Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, converting nutrients (like glucose) into ATP—the energy currency your cells use for nearly everything they do. Through a process called cellular respiration, they break down food molecules in the presence of oxygen and capture the released energy in ATP molecules. Most eukaryotic cells contain hundreds of mitochondria, with more energy-demanding cells like muscle and brain cells having especially high numbers. Interestingly, mitochondria have their own DNA and double membrane, evidence that they likely originated as independent bacteria that formed a symbiotic relationship with early cells billions of years ago.
