Mitochondria Diagram. It ranges from 0 5 to 1 0 micrometer in diameter. This diagram shows the structure of a mitochondrion.
Mitochondria are made up of following structures which play an essential role in all the processes taking place inside mitochondria. Mitochondria are membrane bound organelles enclosed by a double membrane. They have a smooth outer membrane enclosing the organelle and a folded inner membrane.
The mitochondria are usually sausage shaped but may be spherical oval cylindrical filamentous or even branched.
They have a smooth outer membrane enclosing the organelle and a folded inner membrane. They typically are round to oval in shape. Mitochondria are commonly called the power house of the cell. Benda 1897 was the first to coin the term mitochondrion.
