What are the other functions of mitohondria beside producing ATP and in which cases?

Mitochondria carry out a lot of enzymatic processes....
Like
Citric Acid Cycle
Beta Oxidation
Ketogenesis
cholestrol hydrolysis
part of porphyrin synthesis
part of urea synthesis
and may others

Inner Membrane--impermeable to most ions. uses specific transport
carriers to go from cytoplasm to matrix. ETC assembly,ATP
synthesizing sructure protrudes into matrix. NADH dehy.
oxidizing reduction of repiratory chain.
Cristae---------foldings of inner membrane that increase surface area.
Matrix----------Site of Kreb enzymes,mtDNA,mtRNA,mito.ribosomes,
Oxidation of fatty acids , amino acids and pyruvate,
1st two steps of urea cycle.( citrilline can leave matrix
Ornithine can enter it) 1st step and last 4 steps in
Heme synthesis occur here. NAD, FAD,ADP +Pi
Intermembrane Space--Contains enzymes that use ATP that passes out of
matrix to phosphorylate other nucleotides
Outermembrane--Permeable to most ions.
Hope this helps. I welcome comments. :shock:

succinate dehydrogenase is present in the inner mitochondrial membrane. it is responsible for the conversion of succinate into fumrate giving off FADH2.
