Cell death can be triggered by the release of cytochrome C from cristae in this organelle's inner membrane. Oxaloacetate and acetyl-CoA are converted to citric acid in this organelle's matrix. For 10 points, name this cell organelle which has its own DNA, inherited through the mother, and is sometimes known as the "powerhouse of the cell."
