Answer:

Mitochondria is known as the powerhouse of the cell as it provides energy to the cell for performing different functions.

If a toxin causes pore in the inner membrane of the mitochondria and increases the permeability of the mitochondrial membranes. The permeability of mitochondrial membranes leads to mitochondrial swelling and causes cell death through necrosis and apoptosis.
