❥Mitochondria is surrounded by a double membrane envelope.

❥Outer membrane is smooth and continuous and inner membrane is folded into large number of finger like structures called cristae towards the matrix.

❥On cristae stalked particles called elementary particles are present.

❥Mitochindria contains enzymes for catalysing the chemical reactions during respiration.

$\underline{\overline{\mid{\bold{\purple{Function}}\mid}}}$

❥Mitochondria are called power house of the cell. It is because they are tye centres of cellular respiration resulting the formation of ATP molecules.

❥ATP - Adenosine Tri Phosphate.

❥Number: It varies from cell to cell depending on the requirement of energy approximately 100-150 in each cell.
