1. Mitochondrion The Powerhouse of the Cell

2. Mitochondrion Tubular shaped organelle that is found in all types of eukaryotic cells. Located in the cytoplasm. Bound by two membranes: Smooth outer membrane Inner folded membrane

3. Parts of Mitochondrion Inner Membrane Outer Membrane Crista/Cristae- Folds of inner membrane Matrix-Includes enzymes, Ribosomes, and DNA

5. Functions To generate large quantities of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) Store calcium for cell signaling Generate heat Mediate cell growth and death

6. Similar function of a digestive system ~Takes in nutrients ~Breaks down those nutrients ~Creates energy for the cell ~This process is known as cellular respiration

8. Cellular Respiration Allows organisms to use energy stored in the chemical bonds of glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6 ). The energy in glucose is used to produce ATP. Cells use ATP to supply their energy needs. chemical bondsglucose

9. Mitochondrial Dysfunction Parkinson's Disease- Dopamine Epilepsy Alzheimer’s Muscular Dystrophy Lou Gehrig’s Cerebral Palsy Autism Diabetes

10. Mitochondrial Dysfunction Energy production problem Power plants in cell don’t work properly Body has a power outage Dysfunction can look different and is categorized by many diseases
