A mitochondrion is a membrane-enclosed organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. Mitochondria are sometimes described as “cellular power plants” because they generate most of the cell’s supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), used as a source of chemical energy. A mitochondrion contains outer and inner membranes composed of phospholipid bilayers and proteins. The space between the outer and inner membranes is called the
inter-membrane space
and the space within the inner membrane is called the
matrix
