what are the function of mitochondria
The main function of mitochondria is the production of energy during the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) via the TCA Cycle (which is also as the Krebs Cycle and the Citric Acid Cycle).That process is an important metabolic pathway (see also what is metabolism).ccording to many textbooks: Energy production within cells is the main function of mitochondria. However, some students are told not to state that mitochondria produce or create energy. Strictly, the energy is released from storage (in chemical bonds) by reactions that occur in mitochondria.
