Definition of mitochondrion in English English dictionary

A spherical or ovoid organelle found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, contains genetic material separate from that of the host; it is responsible for the conversion of food to usable energy in the form of ATP

Mitochondria are cellular organelles that lie outside the nucleus and produce energy for the cell through cellular respiration

A eukaryotic organelle that is the site of ATP synthesis and of the citric acid cycle The eukaryotic cellular organelle in which the Krebs cycle and electron transport reactions take place

{i} corpuscles in the cytoplasm which provide energy to a cell (Biology)

                    A  small   organelle   within  all  human  cells  that   generates   the   energy

A self-replicating organelle bound by two bilayer membranes that is found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells Mitochondria produce ATP via oxidative phosphorylation reactions carried out by respiratory enzymes located in the inner membrane

an organelle containing enzymes responsible for producing energy

The eucaryotic organelle that is the site of electron transport, oxidative phosphorylation, and pathways such as the Krebs cycle; it provides most of a nonphotosynthetic cell's energy under aerobic conditions It is constructed of an outer membrane and an inner membrane, which contains the electron transport chain (See 83)

An organelle found inside the cell, the mitochondrion is the cell's powerhouse All living things need to convert food to energy which many do by respiration, a process akin to controlled burning The resulting energy is used to produce large amounts of ATP, a substance used as a fuel by many other processes

(pl mitochondria) Structure inside a cell that is the location of the cell's energy production machinery

(plural, mitochondria) An organelle in eukaryotic cells that serves as the site of cellular respiration

Eukaryotic organelle responsible for processes of respiration and oxidative phosphorylation

Complex organelle found in most eukaryotes; believed to be descended from free- living bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with a primitive eukaryote Mitochondria are the site of most of the energy production in most eukaryotes; they require oxygen to function See: double membrane

an energy-producing body as neighbouring with other elements in the cell cytoplasm

A part of the cell (organelle) that is responsible for energy production The mitochondria take care of many specialized tasks, including converting nutrients into energy (Plural form: mitochondria )

mitochondria

Mitochondria are subcellular organelles found in eukaryotes which are between 0 2-0 5 micrometers in length It consists of a double membrane surrounding a matrix, with the inner membrane folded into finger-like projections called cristae The walls of these cristae are the site of energy production for the cell, because of this the mitochondria are called the powerhouse of the cell The mitochondria are found in large numbers in cells with high energy needs The mitochondria are self replicating and contain DNA by which they control synthesis of their own proteins

mitochondria
