Mitochondria is an interesting organelle. It functions in ATP, energy, production. Some mitochondria have proteins that are uncoupled and function in heat production.

The mitochondria is thought to be the remnant of a prehistoric cell that became engulfed and formed a symbiotic relationship with its host. Mitochondria are about the size of a bacteria and have their own DNA. The mitochondria has a double membrane with the inner membrane having folds called cristae.
