CHARACTERISTICS OF MITOCHONDRIA:
Mitochondria are organs of special importance. These organelles are absolute requirements to sustain the physiological activities of the cells.
1. They are typically sausage shaped or cylindrical shaped.
2. Each mitochondrion is a double membrane - bound structure with the outer membrane and the inner membrane dividing its lumen distinctly into two compartments, I.e., the outer compartment (perimitochindrial space) and the inner compartment matrix).
3. They are present in almost all the cells of the body except in Red Blood Cells.
4. They are freely floating in the cytoplasm and and stay in the regions of high energy requirement.
5. Mitochondria are self replicable i.e. they can multiply on their own without the requirement of cell to divide.
This characteristic feature helps replacement of old, worn out and damaged mitochondria with new and healthy mitochondria.
6. Mitochondria have their own genetic material as single stranded DNA.
7. The mitochondria have many enzyme complex which in series help in formation of energy i.e. adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP).

hi.
The human body is made of trillions of tiny living units called cells. Each cell is invisible to the naked eye, yet they are all capable of performing hundreds of individual functions -- everything necessary for the body to survive and grow. Among other roles, small structures called mitochondria help transform the energy stored in carbohydrates into a form that cells can use to accomplish those many functions.
GENERAL STRUCTURE
Mitochondria are members of a group of structures inside a cell called organelles, which are separated from the rest of the cell by phospholipid membranes. In addition, mitochondria are the only dual-membrane organelles. The folded inner membrane plays a key role in the production of energy. The space between the two membranes is called the intermembrane space, while the area inside the inner membrane is called the matrix.
