Solution

Mitochondria:

  1. Mitochondria is an important cell organelle that helps in the synthesis of ATP. Hence referred to as the powerhouse of the cell.
  2. If a mitochondrion is destroyed in the cell, ATP synthesis will be altered and the cell will not be able to perform metabolic activities due to the absence of energy.
