Notes from NEET topper
Mitochondrion:
- Mitochondria are double-membraned organelles found in eukaryotic cells.
- They are often referred to as the “powerhouses” of the cell because they are involved in cellular respiration, where ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is generated.
- Mitochondria have their own DNA and ribosomes, indicating their evolutionary origin from endosymbiotic bacteria.
