                    Mitochondria

  • Mitochondrion, membrane-bound organelle found in the cytoplasm of almost all eukaryotic cells (cells with clearly defined nuclei)
  • Also known as powerhouse of cell since it store energy in the form of ATP
  • the primary function of which is to generate large quantities of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
  • Mitochondria are typically round to oval in shape and range in size from 0.5 to 10 μm.
  • In addition to producing energy, mitochondria store calcium for cell signaling activities, generate heat, and mediate cell growth and death. The number of mitochondria per cell varies widely
  • for example, in humans, erythrocytes (red blood cells) do not contain any mitochondria, whereas liver cells and muscle cells may contain hundreds or even thousands.
  • The only eukaryotic organism known to lack mitochondria is the oxymonad Monocercomonoides species
  • .Mitochondria are unlike other cellular organelles in that they have two distinct membranes and a unique genome and reproduce by binary fission; these features indicate that mitochondria share an evolutionary past with prokaryotes (single-celled organisms).
  • absent in prokaryotes

Below diagram show parts of mitochondria
