Mitochondria are sausage-shaped, double membraned cytoplasmic bodies usually called “Power House Of Cell”. These are responsible for ATP synthesis through cellular respiration. Mitochondria are present in almost all eukaryotic cell with the exception of protist Chaos (Pelomyxa) carolinensis.They show constant…
