Describe the structure of cell organelle known as 'Power house of cell'?

Mitochondria are also known as the "powerhouse of cell" as they are involved in the formation of ATP during aerobic cellular respiration.

Their structure shows the following details:

They are surrounded by double membranes, an outer membrane and an inner membrane.

The space between the two membranes is called peri-mitochondrial space.

The inner layer of mitochondria is tightly folded to form a structure called cristae.

The cristae will provide a larger surface area for chemical reactions to take place.

The cristae consist of F-type particles that are also called oxysomes.

Mitochondria are called as the "powerhouse of cell".

They are surrounded by double membranes, an outer membrane and an inner membrane.
