Mitochondria are tube shaped. They are micro-sacs with two membranes. The inner membrane is folded and has thousands of enzymes attached to it. These enzymes produce 95% of the cell's energy supply and they have their own DNA called mDNA. They are shaped like a tube to fit as many folds as possible into the organelle.

∙ 14y agoA mitochondria looks like it does because it is folded within itself many times over. This is to provide a larger surface area within the mitochondria to allow for a higher rate of cellular respiration

What are rod shaped organelles?

What is the cigar shaped structure with folds on its inner surface in a cell?
Mitochondria: a spherical or rod-shaped organelle found within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. It acts as the ~powerhouse of the cell~Â as it generates most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through the process of cellular respiration.
