Summary Introduction

To determine: The relation between invaginations of the inner mitochondrial membrane and the mitochondrial function.

Introduction: A eukaryotic cell consists of many cell organelles enclosed within a plasma membrane. Mitochondria and chloroplast are considered as semi-autonomous organelles because they possess the ability to grow and divide due to the presence of their own DNA. However, they are semi-autonomous as they depend on other parts of the cell, such as, cytosol to import their internal components.
