  • Mitochondria are the organelles present in the eukaryotic cell, which are also known as the powerhouse of the cell.
  • The structure and the number of mitochondria differ in the tissue depending on the function of the cell.
  • For example, the RBC cells do not perform any metabolism, therefore, lack mitochondria.
