How did the cell power itself before the mitochondria? |

Answer» Answer: The mitochondria is called the powerhouse of the cell because it is RESPONSIBLE for PRODUCING most of the cell's ENERGY, or adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP). Mitochondria are able to multiply in response to the energy needs of a cell, so that cells requiring more energy to FUNCTION are powered by more mitochondria than cells with lower energy needs. |
