What´s Mitochondria?

The Mitochondria consists of an outer membrane and an inner membrane and a gel-like material called the matrix which resides in folds called cristae. The matrix has several functions it is where the citric acid cycle occurs. This is one of the important steps in cellular respiration because it produces energy molecules called ATP. It contains the mitochondrial DNA in a structure called the nucleoid. A mitochondrion contains its own DNA and reproduces on its own schedule. It contains ribosome that produces proteins that is used by the mitochondrion. It also contains granules of ions that appear to be involved in the ionic balance of the mitochondrion.
The mitochondrion is an organelle that performs the process of aerobic respiration. In aerobic
