Three mitochondria (blue) fractured to reveal the
internal structure. The internal membranes
(cristae) are visible and are covered with enzyme
complexes involved in the conversion of
metabolites into energy. The surrounding cytoplasm
is shown in gold. This a colour-enhanced,
scanning electron micrograph of a freeze-fractured
sample.
