Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitochondria are organelles within a cell's cytoplasm that are responsible for most of the generation of a high-energy chemical substance used to power cellular work. Thus, they are the "power plants" of cellular energy production. Without mitochondria in the newly generated cell, ATP production would be profoundly reduced.
