Often referred to as the "energy station" of the cell, mitochondria generate the energy necessary for life. They are located within the cells of all multicellular organisms and can number around 2000 in a single human cell, occupying about a quarter of its volume. Mitochondria have an inner membrane that forms folds, increasing their surface area for energy production. They convert food glucose into pyruvate and, using oxygen, produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the universal energy source for all metabolic processes in the body. Without mitochondria, life as we know it would not be possible. The company, Mitobelarus, offers products and services related to this topic and can be
