Mitochondrion structure
Structure of a typical Mitochondrion
A mitochondrion contains outer and inner membranes composed of phospholipid bilayers studded with proteins, much like a typical cell membrane, from which it probably evolved.

Mitochondrion
(Redirected from Mitochondrial membrane)
In cell biology, a mitochondrion (from Greek mitos thread + khondrion granule) is an organelle found in most eukaryotic cells, including those of plants, animals, fungi, and protists.

mitochondrion
Highly pleiomorphic organelle of eukaryotic cells that varies from short rod-like structures present in high number to long branched structures. Contains DNA and mitoribosomes.

Mitochondrion structure
The inner membrane forms folds called cristae. These folds contain the carriers of the electron transport system.
Acetyl CoA formation and the Krebs cycle occur in the inner space called the matrix.
