Q
Function of mitochondria
A
Site of aerobic respiration that produces atp
2
Q
Structure and function of double membrane

Outer membrane is smooth and inner membrane is folded into cristae
Controls the movement of substances
Inner membrane contains enzymes for respiration
3
Q
Structure and function of cristae
A
Folds of the inner membrane studded with proteins
Increases surface area for atp production
