The mitochondrion is a round or oval organelle found within cells that have well-defined nuclei also known as eukaryotic cells. The mitochondrion is responsible for the production of energy to fuel the functions of the cell and can be compared to power plants that produce electricity to power our homes.

The mitochondrion is a round or oval organelle found within cells that have well-defined nuclei also known as eukaryotic cells. The mitochondrion is responsible for the production of energy to fuel the functions of the cell and can be compared to power plants that produce electricity to power our homes. Mitochondria play an important role in regulating the growth and eventual death of all cells in our bodies. They are also responsible for storing calcium that is used to relay signals within the cell. Activities within the mitochondrion result in the generation of heat that is essential for the well-being of the cell. The mitochondrion is a unique cell organelle because it has two membranes and it reproduces through separation of the original organelle into two new organelles (binary fission).
