Unlike today where many mitochondria and a cell coexist, mitochondria and cells were once separate organisms. Mitochondria were free-living bacteria that could produce energy, yet they struggled to protect themselves.

Much of the energy that cells (and therefore individuals) require to function is harvested from biomolecules such as sugars and fats obtained from food.Mitochondria carry out the final steps of converting the food to energy.itochondria (singular-mitochondrion) are the energy powerhouses of cells.
