The number of mitochondria in a cell vary, but they are found in almost all eukaryotic cells. They divide separately from mitosis, and contain a matrix, cristae (folds), inner membrane, outer membrane (lipid bilayer with embedded proteins), and intermembrane space. Cellular respiration occurs here, as well as the metabolization of carbohydrates to produce ATP. |
