'''Mitochondria''', thought to be of bacterial origin, are the powerhouses of our cells. They create ATP, which is the only energy our bodies can use. When the Mitochondria go wrong, we go wrong. They are the only organelles that have two membranes, the outer membrane and the inner membrane.The outer membrane is permeable while the inner membrane only allows certain materials to go through.Living cells cannot use oxygen for energy but they have food, Mitochondria can use oxygen for energy but they have no food,so an exchange is done through the intermembraneous space (space between membranes) via transmembraneous proteins, the most important being the VDAC protein (voltage dependent anion channel). | '''Mitochondria''', thought to be of bacterial origin, are the powerhouses of our cells.
