How are mitochondria adapted for their function?
Mitochondria have a double membrane structure, with an inner layer with many folds to create a high surface area. This provides more space for more metabolising proteins and therefor they are able to create more energy at one time. They also have a small amount of mitochondrial DNA, allowing them to create mitochondrial proteins quicker than from nucleic genes.
