👉 Mitochondria, also known as mitochondrial organelles, are a type of cell organelle that is crucial for cellular energy production. They are located in the center of the mitochondrion and are responsible for generating ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through oxidative phosphorylation. The main function of mitochondria is to generate ATP by converting glucose or other organic molecules into pyruvate, which can then be used as a source of energy for cellular processes. Additionally, they also
