Mitochondria is an organelle found in nearly all eukaryotic cells. It is responsible for producing ATP (adenisine triphosphate) va cellular respiration.

A mitochonidran is a relatively large organelle and has a double membrane. The inner membrane, called the cristae, is heavily folded in orderto increase surface area for gaseous exchange.

When respiring, mitochondria produce ATP, which is energy for the cell. Cells such as muscle and sperm cells, which require lots of movement and energy, have a large number of mitochondria present.

It is thought that mitochondria were once independant and exsisted outside of a cell. They are able to reproduce on their own, and do not need the nucleus to carry it out.
