Mitochondrion is an oval shaped organelle with two membranes found in most eukaryotic cells. The outer membrane is smooth and the inner membrane is highly convoluted, forming folds called cristae. This structure increases the surface area available for chemical reactions. Inside the mitochondrion, there is a central fluid filled space called the matrix. The matrix contains circular DNA (mitochondrial DNA), 70s ribosomes, respiratory enzymes, and other components necessary for cellular...
