The cellular organelle that I choose to describe is the mitochondria also know as “The Power House” of the cell. The mitochondria have two different membranes the inner and outer membranes. Between the two membranes is the space know as the inter-membrane space. These membranes are phospholipid bi-layers with a collection of if proteins embedded into it. The outer membrane is very smooth, while the inner membrane has foldings in it known as cristae. This area inside the inner membrane is known as the mitochondrial matrix, which contains many different enzymes and also contains some DNA as well as ribosomes. The cristae in this mitochondrial matrix give the organelle a great surface area for cellular respiration which is the mitochondria’s purpose.
The function of mitochondria is to generate ATP by extracting it from many different sources such as sugars, fats, and other fuels by using oxygen. Mitochondria do this indirectly using Kreb’s cycle. This cycle decomposes a der...
