Mitochondria are known as the “powerhouses” of eukaryotic cells because they generate most of the cell’s ATP through aerobic respiration. They have their own DNA and are involved in various metabolic processes, including the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. Mitochondria also play a role in regulating cellular metabolism, signaling, and apoptosis (programmed cell death).
