Orest's+Mitochondria


 * Mitochondria**
 * ====** Mitochondria are organelles found in the cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells. ** ====
 * ====** They vary considerably in shape and size, but are all composed of four compartments, a smooth outer membrane, a convoluted inner membrane that forms recognizable structures called cristae, the intermembrane space, and the matrix. ** ====
 * ====**Mitochondria are the "powerhouses" of cells, their function is to convert energy found in nutrient molecules and store it in high-energy phosphate bonds.** ====
 * ====** The structure of mitochondria is typically rod shaped. ** ====
 * ====** The DNA for mitochondria is inherited from mother to the baby, and it is exactly similar to the mothers DNA. ** ====
 * ====** Mitochondria are only partially dependent on the cell to grow and survive, so they can be termed as semi-autonomous. ** ====
