Mitochondrion,coloured transmission electron micrograph (TEM). Mitochondria are a type of organelle found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. They oxidise sugars and fats to produce energy in a process called respiration. A mitochondrion has two membranes,a smooth outer membrane and a folded inner membrane. The folds of the inner membrane are called cristae,and it is here that the chemical reactions to produce energy take place. Magnification: x62,800 when printed at 10 centimetres wide | |
