Explanation

• Mitochondria are called the powerhouse of the cell.
• Because they produce Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP).
• ATP is the energy currency of the cell.
• ATP provides energy for different cellular activities such as movement, growth, and transport.
• Energy is produced through aerobic cellular respiration using oxygen and الغذائی molecules.
• They are found in the cytoplasm of most eukaryotic cells.
• Richard Altmann first described mitochondria in 1890.

Explanation

• Cell biology  is a branch of biology that studies the structure, function, and behavior of cells.
• All living organisms are made of cells.
• Also cellular biology or cytology
  

Explanation

• WBCs survive for about 13–20 days, depending on the type.
• WBCs are also called Leukocytes.
• They protect the body against infections.
• They are produced in the bone marrow.

Important Note: The 13–20 days lifespan is not applicable to all WBCs; their lifespan varies according to type.
