Question

Outline the structure and function of the organelle mitochondria

Answer 1

Answer:

The structure of the organelle mitochondria is that it is made of two membranes. The outer membrane covers the organelle and contains it like skin. The inner membrane folds over many times and creates layered structures called cristae. The fluid contained in the mitochondria is called the matrix. Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical reactions. Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
