Energy Output

The amount of energy produced and released by a process or system, such as during physical activity or by a power plant.

Mitochondria

Membrane-bound organelles found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, involved in producing energy through the process of oxidative phosphorylation.

Lysosomes

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that contain enzymes used for digesting macromolecules, old cell parts, and foreign invaders.
