Mitochondria are intracellular structures in biological lifeforms, that play a key role in metabolism. They are believed to have originated from a symbiotic relationship between an ancient unicellular organism and another that had entered it. (VOY: "Once Upon a Time")
During a scan of Aldean DNA, Doctor Beverly Crusher was able to confirm that mitochondrial deficiencies were not responsible for the Aldeans sterility. (TNG: "When The Bough Breaks")
Mitochondrial structure is recorded by the transporter, and is often useful for identifying remains following a transpoter accident. In 2367, Doctor Beverly Crusher compared the mitochondrial structure from the remains of Vulcan Ambassador T'Pel to that of her last transport. The discrepancies between the remains and the transporter pattern led Crusher and Lieutenant Commander Data to deduce that the remains had been replicated, indicating Romulan treachery. (TNG: "Data's Day")
The Doctor gave Naomi Wildman a lesson on cellular biology in early 2375. Mitochondria were part of the topic; Wildman likened them to "the warp core of the cell." (VOY: "Once Upon a Time")
