English: A diagram showing a mitochondrion of the eukaryotic cell. Mitochondria are organelles surrounded by membranes, distributed in the cytosol of most eukaryotic cells. Its main function is the conversion of potential energy of pyruvate molecules into ATP.
Simplified cross-section of a mitochondrion and a submitochondrial particle, showing the particle's inverted membrane orientation. Whereas whole submitochondrial particles can perform oxidative phosphorylation yielding ATP, destabilized particles lacking F 1 particles consume oxygen and oxidize NADH without synthesizing ATP, and free F 1 particles catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP into ADP.

A mitochondrion (pl. mitochondria) is an organelle found in the cells of most eukaryotes, such as animals, plants and fungi.Mitochondria have a double membrane structure and use aerobic respiration to generate adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is used throughout the cell as a source of chemical energy.

Mutually, post-translational alterations of mitochondrial apparatus and the development of transmembrane contact sites among mitochondria and other structures, which both have the potential to link signals from diverse routes that affect mitochondrial membrane dynamics substantially, [36] Mitochondria are wrapped by two membranes: an inner ...
This phenomenon can be explained by the endosymbiont hypothesis of the origin of mitochondria as prokaryotes internalized by a eukaryotic host cell. In pig heart mitochondria, phosphatidylethanolamine makes up the majority of the inner mitochondrial membrane at 37.0% of the phospholipid composition.
Mitochondria is a double-membrane structure in the body cell that generates and transports essential metabolic products. The three layers of this structure are the outer membrane, intermembrane space, and inner membrane. [2] The space inside the mitochondria is called the mitochondrial matrix, while the region outside is the cytosol.
intracellular transport (associated with dyneins and kinesins, they transport organelles like mitochondria or vesicles). Cross section diagram through the cilium, showing the “9 + 2” arrangement of microtubules the axoneme of cilia and flagella. the mitotic spindle. synthesis of the cell wall in plants.
