mitochondria

['maɪtə(ʊ)ˈkɒndrɪə] noun Mitochondria are organelles found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. 线粒体是大多数细胞中数量众多的细胞器，其中进行呼吸和能量生产的生化过程。 1. The mitochondria are responsible for producing energy for the cell. 线粒体负责为细胞产生能量。 2. Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, providing energy for all cellular functions. 线粒体是细胞的动力站，为所有细胞功能提供能量。 3. Mitochondria play a crucial role in aerobic respiration, converting oxygen and nutrients into ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the main source of energy for cellular processes. 线粒体在有氧呼吸中起着关键作用，将氧气和营养物质转化为ATP（三磷酸腺苷），这是细胞过程的主要能源来源。 4. The mitochondria contain their own DNA, separate from the cell's nuclear DNA, and can replicate independently within the cell. 线粒体含有自己独立于细胞核DNA的DNA，并且可以在细胞内独立复制。 5. Dysfunction of mitochondria can lead to various diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes. 线粒体功能障碍可能导致帕金森病、阿尔茨海默病和糖尿病等多种疾病。 Synonyms: energy factories, powerhouses, cellular power plants 同义词：能量工厂、动力站、细胞动力厂 Editor's Summary: 编辑总结： Mitochondria are essential organelles found in most cells, responsible for producing energy through aerobic respiration. They contain their own DNA and play a crucial role in cellular processes. Dysfunction of mitochondria can lead to various diseases. Synonyms for mitochondria include energy factories, powerhouses, and cellular power plants.
