- Mitochondria: What to Know - WebMD
Mitochondria are responsible for producing and providing energy to our bodies, especially in organs such as the heart, brain, and muscles, which require high-energy production These organs
- Mitochondria - National Human Genome Research Institute
Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) Mitochondria contain their own small chromosomes Generally, mitochondria, and therefore mitochondrial DNA, are inherited only from the mother
