Mitochondria are shaped perfectly to maximize their productivity. They are made of two membranes. 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.

Function of different structures of mitochondria:
1) outer mitochondrial membrane: provide covering and enhances the entry of acetyl co-A.
2) inner mitochondrial membrane: it has many complexes which helps in forming the electron transport chain for further oxidation of products of Kreb’s cycle.
It also has ATP synthase which is a rotatory complex and helps in synthesis of ATP with the proton gradient between intermembranal space and mitochondrial matrix.
3) mitochondrial matrix: it has enzymes for reactions in Kreb’s cycle.
4) mitochondrial DNA: this makes mitochondria a semi-autonomous organelle. It can help in synthesis of proteins with ribosomes present within the mitochondria. These proteins forms the mitochondrial enzymes when required in greater amount. This is carried out without taking information from the nucleus.
