QQuestion
Write one function each of mitochondria and centrosome.
Exam-ready answer • 02 Mark
✓Answer
Mitochondria: Generates energy in the form of ATP.
Centrosome: Helps in the formation of spindle fibres during cell division.
Explanation:
Mitochondria is called the “power house” of the cell because it is the site of respiration and energy (ATP) production, required for all cellular work. The centrosome organizes microtubules and is essential for proper chromosome separation in mitosis and meiosis.
