Mitochondrion Model
Product Code : JL-LEP-10336
The Mitochondrion Model (SKU JL-LEP-10336) is a one-piece 3D model that shows the mitochondrion, the main organelle involved in cellular respiration, in longitudinal cross-section. The mitochondrion model sets out the outer and inner membranes, the cristae, the matrix and the intermembrane space, together with mitochondrial DNA, ribosomes and granules. Made in non-toxic plastic, it is used in school and college cell biology teaching, and JaincoLab manufactures it in India.
Specifications
The mitochondrion model is a one-piece, non-toxic plastic 3D model cut in longitudinal cross-section to show eight features of the organelle: the outer membrane, inner membrane, cristae, matrix, intermembrane space, DNA, ribosome and granule.

Applications of the mitochondrion model
The mitochondrion model is used when teaching cellular respiration and cell organelles, so that students can connect the stages of respiration to the matrix and to the inner membrane with its cristae, in secondary-school biology, B.Sc. cell biology and allied health courses.
- Showing where the Krebs cycle (matrix) and the electron transport chain (inner membrane and cristae) take place
- Explaining how folding of the inner membrane into cristae increases its surface area
- Pointing out mitochondrial DNA and ribosomes in lessons on the endosymbiotic theory
- Comparing the mitochondrion with the chloroplast model in cell organelle lessons
- Cell biology teaching for senior secondary, B.Sc. and nursing students
