  2. Mitochondrion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrion

    The population of all the mitochondria of a given cell constitutes the chondriome. [95] Mitochondria vary in number and location according to cell type. A single mitochondrion is often found in unicellular organisms, while human liver cells have about 1000–2000 mitochondria per cell, making up 1/5 of the cell volume. [20]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrial_DNA

    These organelles, found in all eukaryotic cells, are the powerhouse of the cell. [1] The mitochondria, and thus mitochondrial DNA, are passed exclusively from mother to offspring through the egg cell. Illustration of the location of mitochondrial DNA in human cells Electron microscopy reveals mitochondrial DNA in discrete foci. Bars: 200 nm.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eukaryote

    Mitochondria are essentially universal in the eukaryotes, and with their own DNA somewhat resemble prokaryotic cells. Mitochondria are organelles in eukaryotic cells. The mitochondrion is commonly called "the powerhouse of the cell", [30] for its function providing energy by oxidising sugars or fats to produce the energy-storing molecule ATP.

    The amount of mitochondria per cell also varies by cell type, with some examples being: Erythrocytes: 0 mitochondria per cell. [1] Lymphocytes: 3 mitochondria per cell. [7] Egg cell: Mature metaphase II egg cells can contain 100,000 mitochondria, and 50,000–1,500,000 copies of the mitochondrial genome (corresponding to up to 90% of the egg ...

  9. Subcellular localization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcellular_localization

    The cells of eukaryotic organisms are elaborately subdivided into functionally-distinct membrane-bound compartments. Some major constituents of eukaryotic cells are: extracellular space, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), peroxisome, vacuoles, cytoskeleton, nucleoplasm, nucleolus, nuclear matrix and ribosomes.
