Mitochondria are the sites of cellular respiration. They use molecular oxygen from air to oxidise the carbohydrates and fats (lipids) present in the cell to carbon dioxide and water vapour.
Oxidation releases energy, which is stored in the form of ATP. Since the mitochondria synthesise energy-rich compounds (ATP), they are known as .power houses. of the cell.
