Mitochondria is an organelle which is found in all eukaryotic cells. It is known as the power house of the cell. It produces ATP, which is called energy currency of the cell. Mitochondria is a double membranous structure. Its outer membrane is continuous, smooth structure. Its inner membrane is convulated and form cristae. There is fluid matrix between the two membranes and another inner mitochondrial matrix surrounded by inner membrane. Krebs cycle take place inside mitochondria which is part of cellular respiration and ETS or electron transport system also takes place in the inner membrane of mitochondria. Moreover, mitochondria is also known as seni-autonomous organelle.Because,it contains its own genetic material. The mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA is also inherited by offspring from its mother only and therefore it is also known as maternal DNA. This is because during fertilization, sperm contributes only nucleus but ovum contributes both nucleus and cytoplasm.

Mitochondria :
-----------------------------------------------------------
Rod - shaped bodies with a double layer of outer skin. The inner layers forms a series of outer skin. The inner layer forms a series of folds providing a large surface area for the vital chemical reactions which go on inside the mitochondria ( called the cells " powerhouse" ). They are the places where simple substance taken into the cell are broken down to provide energy.
They contain enzymes necessary for the total oxidation of food and for release of high amount of energy in the form of ATP ( Adenosine triphosphate ) molecules. The body uses energy stored in ATP for synthesis of new chemical Compounds and for mechanical work. ATP is also known as energy currency of the cell.
Functions of Mitochondria :-
----------------------------------------------------------
★ Aerobic Respiration :
Mitochondria are sites where Aerobic part of respiration called Krebs cycle is performed.
★ Energy :
Mitochondria provide energy ( in the form of ATP ) for vital activities of living cells, like synthesis of chemical Compounds, their transport and for mechanical work.
★ Intermediates :
They provide Intermediates for synthesis of various chemicals like fatty acids, steroids, chlorophyll, amino acids etc..
