Do Eukaryotic Cells have Mitochondria?
The answer is YES
In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, which may include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, and lysosomes.
What is a Eukaryotic cell?
A eukaryotic cell is one of two different types of cells. Organisms that are based on the eukaryotic cell are called “eukaryotes” and include plants, animals, fungi, and protists.
What is Mitochondria?
The mitochondrion (plural mitochondria) is a membrane-bound organelle found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. It is the power house of the cell; it is responsible for cellular respiration and production of (most) ATP in the cell. Each cell can have from one to thousands of mitochondria. Mitochondria also contain extranuclear DNA that encodes a number of rRNAs, tRNAs, and proteins.
