Explain the structure and function of the mitochondria

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 cristae

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 cristae. The fluid contained in the mitochondria is called the matrix.
