• Function of Mitochondria:-
• These are the sites of aerobic respiration.
• These are the major energy production centres.

Structure of Mitochondria:-

The outer membrane of mitochondria is smooth while the inner surface form many infoldings called cristae in the inner mitochondrial matrix. This serves to increase the surface area of inner membrane on which membrane-bound reactions can take place.

Mitochondria have it's own DNA and ribosomes. The ribosomes are Mitochondria are more similar to bacterial ribosomes than to eukaryotic ribosomes.
