Mitochondria


The mitochondria makes ATP energy from cellular respiration (sugar+O2 -> ATP). The mitochondria are also responsible for catabolism and aerobic respiration. They reproduce using mitosis. They have two membranes, a smooth outer membrane and a tightly folded inner membrane. The two membranes increase surface area for the membrane bound enzymes.
