The structure of the mitochondria(singular: mitochondrion) is it is surrounded by a double membrane.
The function of the mitochondria is to turn the sugar from food in the cell into ATP for the cell to use. It also changes the chemical energy in food into glucose.
A mitochondrion has two membranes.
A mitochondrion's structure is specifically designed to support its function in producing energy for the cell through its double membrane, inner membrane folds called cristae, and matrix containing enzymes for energy production. These features allow for efficient production of ATP, the cell's main energy source.
The smallest structure visible with a light microscope is around 200 nanometers, which is the limit of resolution for light microscopes. This means that structures smaller than 200 nanometers cannot be resolved with a standard light microscope.
H+ ions would flow out of the mitochondrion.
The Krebs cycle occurs in the matrix of the mitochondrion.

A mitochondrion is a rod-like structure that generates energy in the form of ATP for the cell. It is often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell.
