Function of Mitochondria: The primary function of mitochondria is to produce ATP through the process of cellular respiration. This involves a series of biochemical reactions that occur in the mitochondrial matrix and on the inner membrane. During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are metabolized to produce ATP, carbon dioxide, and water. ATP serves as the primary energy currency of the cell, powering various cellular processes.
