Mitochondria


VOTE MITOCHONDRIA

FOR MOST IMPORTANT

ORGANELLE!



THE POWER HOUSE 

THAT POWERS YOU!


I the Mitochondria am the most important organelle in the cell. I am 
the main reason why cells and organs are energized and why they are able to function.I am known as the “powerhouse of the cell” and carry some of my own DNA. I play an important role in the cell as I convert the carbon dioxide you breathe and the food you eat into energy that is used to function the cell. My organelles are known to give energy to the cell and is responsible for generating chemical energy for your body. I produce my energy by turning glucose and oxygen into a chemical called ATP, which then transports energy to all the cells in your body. I give you energy meaning without me your muscles that need a lot of ATP will start to become weak and your body wont process right. I the mitochondria play an important in the cell.

  1. While these things are all true, without the cytoskeleton, the mitochondria is unable to do a few things. First, it can't move around the cell without the cytoskeleton. If the mitochondria can't move around the cytoplasm, it can't function properly and do the things it needs to. The cytoskeleton also affects the shape of the organelle. The shape of the mitochondria is important because it maximizes what the cell can do, ensuring that the cell is working has hard as possible. Reconsider your choice of the best organelle.
