The Mitochondria
The mitochondria are threadlike or sausage shaped membranous organelles. They act as the power plants of the cell, and they provide most of the ATP supply. They are enclosed by two membranes, each with the general structure of a plasma membrane. As the metabolites are broken down and oxidized some of the energy released is captured and used to attach phosphate groups to ADP to form ATP.
