In a growing organism, metabolism supplies energy to both maintain existing tissues and create new tissues by cell division. Let Y be the metabolic rate of an organism, Yc the metabolic rate of a single cell, Nc (t) the total number of cells at time t, mc the mass of a cell, and Ec the energy required to create a new cell. The cell properties, Ec, mc, and Yc, are assumed to be constant and invariant with respect to the size of the organism. Thus:

Mitochondria is the cell organelle that produced the energy that is needed in the body system in form of atp, that is why it is called the power house of the cell. energy is needed by the living organisms to carry out the activities which sustain life.  if the mitochondria is destroyed atp will not be produced. if the mitochondria is destroyed, energy production will stop and the affected living organism will not have the energy to carry out the necessary life processes; this will lead to the death of the organism.

Mitosis is one and the other is metoisis
