Mitochondria are known as the<em> powerhouses</em> of the cell. They are organelles that act like a digestive system which takes in nutrients, breaks them down, and creates energy-rich molecules for the cell.

Mitochondria Structure

Mitochondria are shaped perfectly to maximize their productivity. They are made of two membranes. The outer membrane covers the organelle and contains it like a skin. The inner membrane folds over many times and creates layered structures called <em>cristae</em>. The fluid contained in the mitochondria is called the <em>matrix. </em>

The folding of the inner membrane increases the surface area inside the organelle. Since many of the chemical reactions happen on the inner membrane, the increased surface area creates more space for reactions to occur.

The outer membrane is technically the skin and covers the organelle.

The inner membrane folds over many times and creates layered structures called cristae.
