Mitochondria

Mitochondria are the power producers of the eukaryotic cell. They have their own DNA and ribosomes, and can make their own protein. They are involved in cell division, cell growth and cell death. Mitochondria have been implicated in several human diseases and are thought to play a role in aging.
