 * Location:** In the cytoplasm of an eukaryotic cells


 * Where I'm found:** In cells, usually around many other mitochondria


 * What I do:** I produce the main source of energy for a cell, ATP. I take in nutrients and break them down, almost like a digestive system


 * Nickname:** The Powerhouse or The Garbage Can


 * Distunguishing charachteristics:** Unlike other organelles I have two membranes; an outer membrane, and an inner membrane. My outer membrane is very smooth, but as for my inner membrane, it folds on itself many times to create more surface area for chemical reactions.
