 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.
