Mitochondria are organelles that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical reactions. Hence, thay are also called as Power house of the cell.

* Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Lord Kelvin, working in Scotland, developed the Kelvin scale in 1848. His scale uses molecular energy to define the extremes of hot and cold. Absolute zero, or 0 K, corresponds to the point at which molecular energy is at a minimum. The Kelvin scale is preferred in scientific work, although the Celsius scale is also commonly used. Temperatures measured on the Kelvin scale are reported simply as K, not °K.

T (in °C) + 273.15 = T (in K)

T (in K) − 273.15 = T (in °C)
