About it
A mitochondrion is a tiny part inside a cell, often called the powerhouse of the cell. It uses oxygen to turn the sugar from food into ATP, the small molecule that carries energy to every part of the cell. Its inner skin is folded into ridges called cristae, which gives it lots of room to work.
The top is cut away to show the ridges. Tap it and light runs along them, it swells, and bright sparks of ATP pop out and drift off. Mitochondria even have their own DNA, which humans usually inherit from their mothers. Cutaway opens or closes the view into the cristae.
