In cell biology, a mitochondrion (from Greek mitos thread + khondrion granule) is an organelle found in mosteukaryotic cells, including those of plants, animals, fungi, and protists. A few cells, such as the trypanosome protozoan, have a single large mitochondrion, but usually a cell has hundreds or thousands of mitochondria. The exact number of mitochondria depends on the cell's level of metabolic activity: more activity means more mitochondria. ...

A remnant of an ancient parasitic bacteria that now helps to produce energy inside the cell. A mitochondrion has its own genome, present in only one copy, which does not recombine in reproduction. This genetic consistency makes mitochondrial DNA a very important tool in tracking genetic histories.

| mitochondria |
Membrane-enclosed cellular compartments that are the major source of a cell's energy. Mitochondria accomplish this by oxidizing the products of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Mitochondria contain some independent DNA genes and are reproduced as needed by the cell they reside in.
