Solution

Mitochondria is like the power plant in a school because:

  1. Just as the power plant provides energy to the school, the mitochondria provide energy to the cell. They do this by converting nutrients into a form of energy the cell can use, called ATP.

  2. Both the power plant and the mitochondria are essential for the operation of their respective systems. Without the power plant, the school would not have the electricity it needs to function. Similarly, without mitochondria, the cell would not have the energy it needs to carry out its functions.

  3. Finally, both the power plant and the mitochondria are separate from the main structure but still a part of the overall system. The power plant is usually a separate building within the school grounds, and the mitochondria are separate organelles within the cell.
