Involved in protein synthesis

• Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum

• Mitochondrion

The “gateway” to the mitochondrion (just like the cell membrane is for the cell)

• Outer Smooth Membrane

• Inner Matrix

• Cristae

• Cell Respiration

Where “Krebs cycle” takes place (important step in cellular respiration, which produces energy molecules called “ATP”

• Outer Smooth Membrane

• Inner Matrix

• Cristae

• Cell Respiration

Folds of the mitochondrial inner membrane that provide an increase in the surface area allowing for faster ATP production

• Outer Smooth Membrane

• Inner Matrix

• Cristae

• Cell Respiration

The controlled release of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from organic compounds in cells”
