  1. Mitochondria By Meghan Klapper, Taylor Dawson and Sophia Goswami

  2. Function An organelle able to“convert energy from one chemical form to another.” This is done using a process called cellular respiration.

  3. TheyAre Found In Both Plant and Animal Cells Plant Cell Animal Cell Mitochondria Mitochondria

  4. Outer Compartment Inner Compartment Structure 2 Membranes and 2 Compartments

  5. Outer compartment Outer Compartment Intermembrane Space: A fluid filled compartment enclosed by the outter membrane and surrounding the 2nd compartment.

  6. More about Cristae: More folds in the membrane= more surface area= more enzymes can be there= more ATP= more energy! Inner Compartment Contains: Mitochondrial matrix where cellular respiration chemical reactions occur Cristae: Folds in the inner membrane home to enzyme molecules capable of producing ATP

  7. Cellular Respiration “Chemical energy offoods such as sugars is converted to the chemical energy of a molecule called ATP …the main energy source for cellular work”(Biology: Concepts and Connections).

  8. Two of the Steps in Cellular Respiration • Kerbs Cycle: • The purpose of this cycle is to “break down glucose by decomposing a derivative of pyruvic acid to carbon dioxide”(Biology: Concepts and Connections).

  9. Fun (And Important) Facts Mitochondria are one of the few organelles to reproduce without the rest of the cell! • Mitochondria have their own DNA • They also have their own ribosomes • This enables the Mitochondria to produce their own protein as well
