- Mitochondria has a double wall membranous structure.
- The membranes are composed of phospholipids and protein.
- The space between the outer and inner membrane is known as periplastidial space.
- The outer membrane has special proteins known as porins.
- It is freely permeable to nutrient molecules, ions, energy molecules like the ATP and ADP molecules.
- It is 60 to 75 angstroms (Å) thick.
- The inner membrane folds inwards to form finger-like projection known as cristae which help to increase the surface area for absorption.
- It is studed with F1 particles or oxysomes which help in oxidative phosphorylation.
- The two membranes enclose a fluid which is known as matrix.
- It is a complex mixture of proteins and enzymes.
- These enzymes are important for the synthesis of ATP molecules, mitochondrial ribosomes, tRNAs and mitochondrial DNA.
- It has its own DNA which is mainly used for genetic modification.
