What is the function of mitochondria Class 9?
1)They are sites of cellular respiration. 2)They uses oxygen to oxidise carbohydrates and fats present in the cell to carbon dioxide and water. Oxidation releases energy,a portion of which is used to form ATP. Since mitochondria synthesises energy rich compound ATP it is called powerhouse of cell.
