Mitochondria are usually rod-shaped structures 0.510 micrometers in diameter, but some are round. Different types of cells have different numbers of mitochondria. Some cell types have only one mitochondrion per cell. Others have a few thousand mitochondria.

Mitochondria have two membranes, an inner and outer membrane. The inner membrane has many folds, called cristae, which project into the mitochondrial matrix, the inner compartment of the organelle. The intermembrane space lies between the two membranes.
