Mitochondria occupy up to 25% of the volume of the cytoplasm in most eukaryotic cells. They are large organelles that are surrounded by two phospholipid bilayer membranes. Mitochondria contain their own DNA and carry out oxidative phosphorylation, which produces most of the adenine triphosphate in eukaryotic cells. Mitochondria play a fundamental role through the cellular metabolism. Without mitochondria, cells would not survive. If a mitochondrion were to fail to perform its task of producing ATP, serious illness and other abnormalities would occur. Errors in the metabolic pathways or under-replication of the mitochondria themselves would result in these mitochondrial ...
