Mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy are two pathways that regulate mitochondrial content and metabolism preserving homeostasis. The tight regulation between these opposing processes is essential for cellular adaptation in response to cellular metabolic state, stress and other intracellular or environmental signals.
Answer:Mitochondria produce energy for cells through respiration. Mitochondria also helps maintain the environment of the cell (homeostasis) to keep the best conditions for optimum function. This is achieved by the storage and release of free calcium.
