Jayesh Vashishtha
Dear student,
Mitochondria are often called the “powerhouses” or “energy factories” of a cell because they are responsible for making adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell's main energy-carrying molecule. ... Cellular respiration is the process of making ATP using the chemical energy found in glucose and other nutrients.
