Mitochondria

This electron micrograph of a liver cell shows a large number of mitochondria in this active liver cell.  Mitochondria vary in size and shape and are composed of two membranes, with the inner membrane extending into the matrix as shelf-like folds call cristae.  Mitochondria also store calcium in electron dense matrix granules.  Liver 20,000x
