They are maternally inherited and participate in the citric acid cycle.
Aggregations of a diseased form of this organelle take on a "ragged red fiber" appearance, and mutations in this organelle lead to Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy. TOM and TIM proteins allow the translocation of proteins across their membranes, and they release cytochrome c into the cytoplasm during apoptosis. They are maternally inherited and participate in the citric acid cycle. These organelles' inner membranes are organized into folds called cristae, on which is located a protein that exploits a proton gradient to make a high-energy molecule. For 10 points, name these organelles that produce energy for the cell in the form of ATP.
