The mitochondrion, the so-called “powerhouse” of cells, is re-created in a superb, highly detailed model showing the double-wall membrane, cristae, subunits, granules localized on the inner wall, and the matrix material filling the body. The structure is shown in a longitudinal section enlarged 190,000X and in cross section enlarged 1,000,000X. The one-piece model is mounted on a base featuring a diagram of the Krebs cycle and includes a key, printed and on a CD-ROM, identifying 12 structures. Size: 23″L x 8″W x 11″H.
