Mitochondria Diagram. They are generally rod shaped but may be in the form of granules or spherical bodies. Fig 1 electron micrograph of a mitochondrion function the mitochondrion is the site of atp synthesis for the cell.
This organelle is found in the cytoplasm of the cells of eukaryotes. The theory of endosymbiosis states that all mitochondria were free living organisms and used aerobic respiration. Steenbergen rineke et al.
However our understanding of the morphology of the organelle has changed with the advent of higher resolution electron microscopes and cryopreservation of samples.

Mitochondria contain their own small chromosomes. This series of reactions produces 36 molecules of atp.
