What is mitochondria?

Mitochondria are the  power house of the cell, membrane-bound organelles present in the cytoplasm of both plant and animal cell.

It produces  adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by breaking down of nutrients. Cellular respiration also occur in mitochondria.

Structurally it comprises three parts such as  an outer membrane, an inner membrane, and matrix part which is a gel like structure.

The outer membrane separated by the intermembrane space from the inner membrane  and it is composed of proteins and phospholipid layers

The outer membrane  has a large number of special proteins called as porins.

It is also involved in regulation of the metabolic activity, promotion of cell growth, multiplication,  detoxifying ammonia, apoptosis, make various hormones like testosterone and oestrogen, cellular differentiation, cell signalling, cell senescence, cell cycle control.
