Mitochondria are amazing and cool
They are found in plants... animals,....fungi,.....protists, and any other eukaryotic cell

They can quickly change shape and move around the cell when needed.
When the cell needs more energy, the mitochondria can reproduce by growing larger and then dividing. For example, say you want to get in shape. As you exercise more the mitochondria in your muscles will increase in number and navigate to the edges of the cell, which allows these muscle cells to have more energy.
If the cell needs less energy, some mitochondria will die or become inactive.
The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell because of their ATP production. The function of the mitochondria is to boost your energy by performing cellular respiration.
