What does mitochondria do for aerobic respiration

Produces energy carrying molecule ATP

Features of mitochondria

Has double membrane, we have outer mitochondrial membrane , and inner mitochondrial membrane.

In between membranes, we have intermembrane space, within mitochondria we have fluid called matrix

Inner mitochondrial membrane has folds called cristae, by folding inner membrane like this, we have great deal of surface area, for enzymes needed for oxidative phosporylation

What does loop of mitochondrial DNA have

Contains genes required for some of the enzymes involved in aerobic respiration

What else does mitochondria contain

Mitochondrial ribosomes, these synthesise the proteins encoded by the mitochondrial DNA
