mitochondria are famously known as the powerhouse of the cell since it is the
one that gives the cells energy that is also used by the human being. This energy conversion is called oxidative
phosphorylation. Mitochondria are found in eukaryotic cells, including
humans. These organelles also had its
own genome, or what we called as DNA which is known as mitochondrial DNA, or
mtDNA which is present in the mitochondrial matrix. The role of mtDNA or mitochondrial DNA is to
convert the energy from food into any other forms that it thinks the cell can
use. It is containing 37 genes which are
all necessary for a normal mitochondrial function.</span>
