Select ALL statements that are correct about mitochondria.

They produce ATP

They are double-membraned

They are often the largest organelles in the cytoplasm

Their inner membrane forms folds called cristae

Each liver cell can contain up to 2,500 mitochondria

They are found only in animal cells

(1) They are often the largest organelles in the cytoplasm

(2) They are double-membraned

(3) They produce ATP

(4) Their inner membrane forms folds called cristae

(5) Each liver cell can contain up to 2,500 mitochondria

Key facts about mitochondria:

Often the largest organelles in the cytoplasm (along with plastids and the nucleus in some cells)
Double-membraned - outer membrane separates from cytoplasm; inner membrane forms cristae
Produce ATP - the cell's energy currency
Found in both plant and animal cells - NOT exclusive to animal cells
Inner membrane folds into cristae extending into the matrix
Liver cells can have up to 2,500 mitochondria
