Mitochondria are a n organelle found in large numbers in most cells, in which the biochemical processes of respiration and energy production occur. It has a double membrane, the inner layer being folded inward to form layers (cristae).

Mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells, known as the "powerhouses" of the cell due to their role in generating ATP, the main energy currency. They have a double-membrane structure with folds that increase surface area for energy production. Mitochondria are present in almost all eukaryotic cells, with a higher concentration in energy-demanding cells like muscle cells.
