Mitochondria are tiny organelles inside cells that are involved in releasing energy from food by the process known as cellular respiration. It is for this reason thatmitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouses of the cell

   
The outer membrane covers the organelle and contains it like a skin. The inner membrane folds over many times and creates layered structures called cristae. The fluid contained in the mitochondria is called the matrix. The folding of the inner membrane increases the surface area inside the organelle.
