A [[Mitochondria|Mitochondrion]] is a part of a [[Cell (Biology)|cell]] where [[respiration]] takes place.
: Singular [[Noun]]: '''Mitochondrion''': Plural [[Noun]]: '''Mitochondria''': [[Adjective]]: '''Mitochondrial'''
===Function===
[[Mitochondria]] provide [[energy ]] to the [[Cell (Biology)|cell ]] by [[respiration]].
===About Mitochondria===
: [[Mitochondria]] are used to release the [[energy ]] from food.: [[Cell (Biology)|Cells]] that need more [[energy ]] have more [[mitochondria]].: [[MitochondriaSperm Cell|Sperm cells]] are found in have a lot of [[Plant Cell|plant cellsmitochondria]], to provide the [[Animal Cell|animal cellsenergy]] and needed to swim to the [[Fungal CellOvum|fungal cellsegg cell]].: [[BacteriaMitochondria]] do not have are found in [[mitochondriaPlant Cell|plant cells]].: , [[Sperm Animal Cell|Sperm animal cells]] have a lot of and [[mitochondriaFungal Cell|fungal cells]] to provide the energy needed to swim to the but are not found in [[Ovum|egg cellBacteria]].

A '''mitochondrion''' is a [[Membrane Bound Organelle|membrane bound organelle]] found in [[Eukaryotic Cell|eukaryotic cells]] that is the site of [[respiration]].
===Function===
: [[Mitochondria]] provide [[energy]] to the [[Cell (Biology)|cell]] by [[Aerobic Respiration|aerobic respiration]] of [[glucose]].
===About Mitochondria===
: '''Mitochondria''' have their own [[DNA]] inside them and are roughly the size of a [[bacterium]] which suggests they were once an independent [[organism]] that migrated into [[Eukaryotic Cell|eukaryotic cells]].
: [[Cell (Biology)|Cells]] which need a large amount of [[energy]] such as [[Muscle Cell|muscle cells]], [[Sperm Cell|sperm cells]] and [[Root Hair Cell|root hair cells]] have a large number of [[mitochondria]].
: [[Mitochondria]] are found in [[Plant Cell|plant cells]], [[Animal Cell|animal cells]], [[Fungal Cell|fungal cells]] and [[protist]]s but are not found in [[bacteria]] or [[archaea]].
