- The mitochondria is also called powerhouse of the cell.
- It is surrounded by two membranes.
- The outer membrane is porous wherea the inner membrane has deep folds that provides a large surface to perform the chemical reactions required for the generation of ATP.
- The inner membrane is compartmentalized into various cristae.
- The ground substance or space enclosed by inner membrane is called matrix.
- Mitochondria have their own DNA and ribosomes and are hence capable to produce some of their required proteins all by themselves.
