| mitochondria |
A cellular organelle that originated as a gram negative endosymbiotic bacteria. Mitochondria have retained a remnant of their once intact bacterial genome. The entire mitochondrial genome has been sequenced in Acanthamoeba and Dictyostelium, however attempts to use mitochondrial sequences to classify members of the genus Acanthamoeba have not been completely successful. Mitochondria produce ATP using a chemiosmotic mechanism involving electron transport. ...

| mitochondria |
small cellular structures, or organelles, found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells (cells with a nucleus; all plants and animals are eukaryotes, while bacteria are not). Mitochondria are responsible for converting nutrients and oxygen into the energy-yielding molecule adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to fuel the cell's activities. This function, known as aerobic respiration, is the reason mitochondria are frequently referred to as the powerhouse of the cell.

| mitochondria |
An organelle (a specialised structure) in the cytoplasm of nearly all eukaryotic cells containing enzymes important for cell metabolism including those responsible for the conversion of food to usable energy Mitochondria are thought to once have been bacteria that were incorporated in the ancestral eukaryote cell and they contain the remnants of a simple bacterial genome
