Mitochondria: converts energy to forms the cell can use. Site of cellular respiration or the production of ATP. They are 1-10um. in length. It is a double membrane structure. The outer membrane is smooth while the inner is folded, these folds are called cristae. The area between the 2 membranes is called the inner membrane space. The inner most area of the mitochondrion is called the mitochondrial matrix.

it is the site of cellular respiration, a very complicated process, but it is just away to get energy kinda like potosynthesis. it does this by releasing ATP (adesonine triphosphate). Good luck!

Don't they have something to do with cell reproduction? And dividing the red blood cells in two?
