Mitochondrion structure, artwork
Mitochondrion structure. Artwork showing the internal structure of a mitochondrion. This structure, found in eukaryotic cells, is the site of energy production. There are two membranes: an outer membrane and an inner membrane that forms folds (cristae). The cristae are the sites of aerobic cell respiration, where sugars and fats are oxidised, which releases energy. ATP synthase is the enzyme that is critical for energy production, producing ATP from another chemical called ADP. Structures shown here include DNA loops (white). Other mitochondria are shown at upper right, lower right and left

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate internal structure of a mitochondrion, a vital organelle found in eukaryotic cells. The print highlights the two membranes that envelop this powerhouse of energy production: an outer membrane and an inner membrane that forms distinctive folds known as cristae. These cristae serve as the sites for aerobic cell respiration, where sugars and fats are oxidized to release precious energy. The artist's attention to detail is evident in this illustration, with DNA loops elegantly depicted in white against a pristine background. Other mitochondria can be observed at various positions within the print, emphasizing their ubiquity throughout living organisms. Of particular significance is ATP synthase, a critical enzyme responsible for energy production within the mitochondrion. It converts another chemical called ADP into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which serves as the primary source of cellular energy. With its emphasis on biology and cytology, this artwork provides viewers with a glimpse into the fascinating world of cellular structures and functions. Whether you're studying genetics or simply captivated by scientific beauty, this print from Science Photo Library offers both aesthetic appeal and educational value.
