• Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles present in the cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells.

• They are responsible for producing Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main energy currency of the cell.

• 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.
