MITOCHONDRIA ----

1)Mitochondria is a double membrane bound organelle found in eukaryotic cell except Mammalian RBC.
2)It was first discovered by Richard Altman and named by  Carl Benda.
3) It consists of 2 parts ---

a) Cristae --- It is the inner mitochondrial membrane is folded inward forming finger-like projections called cristae.
b)Matrix --- It is the fluid present in mitochondria is called matrix. It contains  DNA and Ribosomes.It is the site of Kreb's cycle.

4) It is called powerhouse of the cell. Energy released during cellular respiration is stored inside mitochondria and is supplied to cells wherever required.
5) It contains it's own DNA and ribosomes and can synthesize some of their own protein

Mitochondria are called the powerhouses of the cell.

The energy needed for different chemical activities required for life is released by mitochondria in the form of ATP (Adenosine triphosophete) molecules. ATP is called the energy currency of cells. The body uses energy accumulated in ATP for forming new Chemcal compounds and for mechanical work.

Mitochondria contain two memberane covering in place of just one. the outer memberane is quite porous whereas the inner membrane is deeply folded. these folds create a huge surface are for ATP- generating chemical reactions.

Mitochondria are unique organelles in the sense that they have their own DNA and ribosomes. Hence, mitochondria are able to prepare some of their own proteins. 




hope it helps :)
