Mitochondria Structure
A clean, educational illustration of mitochondria showing the characteristic double-membrane structure with cristae folds. Mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell, responsible for ATP production through oxidative phosphorylation. This diagram is designed to help students visualize the inner membrane folds (cristae) that increase surface area for the electron transport chain. Ideal for cell biology, biochemistry, and physiology courses where energy metabolism is a core topic.
How to Use This Asset
Tips for professors and educators on integrating this illustration into your teaching materials:
- 1Use in cell biology lectures when introducing organelle structure and function.
- 2Pair with a diagram of the electron transport chain to connect structure to function.
- 3Add to biochemistry slides covering oxidative phosphorylation and the citric acid cycle.
- 4Use as a base image and overlay labels for cristae, matrix, outer membrane, and inner membrane.
- 5Include in study guides alongside quiz questions about mitochondrial diseases.
