In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Ultrastructure of Mitochondria 2. Function of Mitochondria 3. Reproduction. Ultrastructure of Mitochondria: In 1953, Palade and Sjostrand independently described the ultrastructure of mitochondria. Mitochondria are bounded by an envelope consisting of two concentric membranes, the outer and inner membranes. The space between the two membranes is called […]

Some of the main functions of Mitochondria are as follows: 1. Centre of respiration: Mitochondria are the respiratory centres, of cell. This view was postulated by Kingsbury (1912). They store energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) which is released during glycolysis, Krebs cycle and electron transport mechanism of cell respiration. Glycolysis occurs in […]
