- Mitochondria in respiration
- Products of glycolysis actively transported through the double membrane into the matrix
- Double membrane
- Inner membrane folded into cristae
- Increased surface area
- Site of the electron transport chain
- ATP synthesis
- Has enzymes and other ETC proteins attached
- Inner membrane folded into cristae
- Matrix
- Inner space
- Semi rigid
- Protein, lipids and traces of DNA
- Very abundant in metabolically active cells
- Muscle
- Liver
- Epithelial
- Cells which carry out active transport
- More densely packed cristae
- Larger SA for attachment of enzymes and other proteins in ETC
