The first disease to be associated with this organelle was Leber's hereditary optic neuropathy, and the TIM and TOM complexes are inner and outer transport mechanisms in it.

The Eve Theory is about the matrilineal descent of these organelles that are also affected by Leigh's disease and Kearns-Sayre syndrome. Cytochrome C is released from this organelle to signal apoptosis, and it is the site of oxidative phosphorylation. Cristae are the inner foldings of this site of the electron transport chain and Krebs Cycle. For 10 points, identify this organelle that produces ATP  and is sometimes referred to as the "powerhouse of the cell."
