Solution

The correct option is B

False


Mitochondria is the organelle where cell respiration takes place to release energy. So, they are also known as the powerhouses of the cell. But, they are made of two membranes and not single-walled. The outer membrane covers the organelle and contains it like a skin. The inner membrane folds over many times and creates layered structures called cristae. So, the given statement is false.
