Mitochondria does the following roles:
Production of energy:
The mitochondria is responsible for producing energy that the cell needs. It undergoes a process called oxidative phosphorylation where the chemical energy from the consumed food is converted into the form required by the cellular processes
Calcium storage:
Mitochondria is also responsible for storing calcium needed for the body. It stores calcium ions which are vital in fertilisation, muscle function and blood clotting.
Cell Death:
Mitochondria plays a vital role in a process called apoptosis by releasing the cytochrome C which is responsible destroying cells. It is also responsible for deciding which cells are to be destroyed.
Heat Production:
Mitochondria produces heat through proton leak process which is called as shivering thermogenesis.
