A spherical or rod-shaped organelle found within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. It acts as the "powerhouse of the cell" as it generates most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through the process of cellular respiration.

A mitochondrion consists of outer and inner membranes, an intermembrane space (space in between the membranes), the cristae (infoldings of the inner membrane), and the matrix (space within the inner membrane)
