Cell mitochondrion

False-colour transmission electron micrograph of a mitochondrion from an unidentified cell. Mitochondria are the sites of cell respiration; the chemical process which uses molecular oxygen to oxidise sugars & fats in order to produce energy. The energy is stored as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) & is used by the cell to drive chemical reactions such as protein formation. Mitochondria are bound by a double membrane. The inner membrane is folded to produce ingrowths called cristae (seen here as a series of paired, parallel pink lines), which are the sites where the chemical reactions of respiration occur. Mag: x 48, 000 at 6x7cm, x 24, 000 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a cell mitochondrion. In this false-colour transmission electron micrograph, we are granted a glimpse into the inner workings of an unidentified cell's powerhouse. Mitochondria, known as the sites of cell respiration, play a vital role in converting molecular oxygen into energy by oxidizing sugars and fats. The energy produced during this chemical process is stored as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which fuels various cellular reactions like protein formation. Encased within a double membrane, these mitochondria exhibit fascinating structures called cristae – visible here as paired, parallel pink lines formed by folded ingrowths on the inner membrane. At magnifications of x 48,000 for 6x7cm prints and x 24,000 for 35mm size prints, this image allows us to appreciate the complexity and sophistication present at such microscopic levels. It serves as a reminder that even within our own bodies lie hidden worlds teeming with activity. This remarkable photograph not only highlights the structural intricacies of mitochondria but also emphasizes their crucial role in energy production within cells. As we delve deeper into understanding biology and cytology through electron micrographs like this one from Science Photo Library's collection, we gain invaluable insights into the fundamental processes that sustain life itself.
