Mitochondria

This electron micrograph shows numerous mitochondria with extensive, shelf-like cristae.  The mitochondrion is composed of two unit membranes, the inner one of which is folded to form cristae.  Located along the cristal membrane are the enzymes in the respiratory chain, which are essential for oxidative phosphorylation.  The cristae are surrounded by the matrix which contains the enzymes in the Krebs cycle.  Liver 40,000x
