They are tiny bodies of various shapes distributed in the cytoplasm. Each mitochondria is bounded by a double membrane envelope. Mitochondria have their own circular DNA and 70s type ribosomes which help to make some of their own proteins. Mitochondria are absent in prokaryotes and anaerobic eukaryotes. Mitochondria # Functions of mitochondria Mitochondria are the sites of cellular respiration. During respiration, oxidation of food releases energy in the form of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate). It is known as the energy currency of the cell. Mitochondria is also known as the Powerhouse of the cell. # Plastids The term plastids was intr
