✦Structure of Mitochondria✦

  • The mitochondrion is a double-membraned, rod-shaped structure found in both plant and animal cell.
  • Its size ranges from 0.5 to 1.0 micrometre in diameter.
  • The structure comprises an outer membrane, an inner membrane, and a gel-like material called the matrix.
  • The outer membrane and the inner membrane are made of proteins and phospholipid layers separated by the intermembrane space.
  • The outer membrane covers the surface of the mitochondrion and has a large number of special proteins known as porins.
  • It is freely permeable to ions, nutrient molecules, energy molecules like the ADP and ATP molecules.
