Mitochondria
The mitochondrion is composed of two unit membranes, an outer shell-like membrane and an inner one that is folded to form cristae, which project into the central matrix. Cristae provide for increased surface area for the placement of the enzymes carrying out oxidative phosphorylation to generate ATP. The matrix contains the enzymes necessary for the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) and fatty acid oxidation as well as calcium granules and mitochondrial DNA. 60,000x
