Step-by-step explanation:

Mitochondria (sing. mitochondria) are organelles, or parts of the eukaryote cell. They are in the cytoplasm, not the nucleus. They make the most cell supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a molecule that cells use as an energy source. ... This means that mitochondria are known as '' the powerhouse of the cell'' or ''cell strength".

Good Luck, and have a great day..
