1. A mitochondrion contains outer and inner
membranes composed of phospholipid bilayers and
proteins. The two membranes have different properties.
Because of this double-membrane organization, there are
five distinct parts to a mitochondrion. They are:
2. - Encloses the entire organelle
- It controls entry and exit of materials
3. - is the space between the outer membrane and
the inner membrane
4. - It has many folds called cristae
- It is the site of the production
of ATP
5. - Fluid material that
fills the area inside the
inner membrane
It also contains
ribosomes and loops of
DNA
