Introduction

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell.

Mitochondria produce ATP using energy stored in food molecules.

Mitochondria are strange organelles in the sense that they their own DNA and ribosomes.

Structure :-

Mitochondria have a double membrane structure.

There is a single outer membrane and a folded inner membrane.

Sac with two inner compartments which are separated by the inner membrane.

The first compartment is between the outer and inner membranes.

The outer compartment is inside the inner membrane.

Function :-

Mitochondria are the site of most of the energy production in eukaryotic cells.

They use complex molecules and oxygen to produce a high energy molecule know as ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) process called aerobic respiration.

Energy production the mitochondria has been called the "powerhouse of the cell".

Mitochondria are very abundant in cells that require lots of energy.
