Mitochondria

The mitochondrion is composed of two unit membranes, the inner one of which is folded to form cristae, which project into the central matrix of the mitochondrion.  The cristae provide for increased surface area for the placement of the enzymes of the respiratory chain carrying out oxidative phosphorylation.  60,000x
