what is cristae?
Cristae ("kris-tee") are the internal compartments formed by the inner membrane of a mitochondrion. (The mitochondria exist in cells and primarily generate energy.) The maximum surface for chemical reactions to occur is within the mitochondria. This allows cellular respiration (aerobic respiration since the mitochondria requires oxygen) to occur.
The cristae greatly increase the surface area on which the reactions take place. If they were absent, the inner membrane would be reduced to a single spherical shape, and with less reaction surface available, the reaction efficiency would be likewise reduced. Therefore, cristae are a necessity for the mitochondria to function efficiently.

They are really lovely, Christy.
=)
Thanks!
That photo is wonderful! And very nice work :)
I'm so sorry that I didn't remember you from the fiber art class at Maple Woods! (As I get older, it seems that I forget so much more easily.) Unfortunately, I didn't get to make it to the creative hands event. I need to remember for next year since every year I say that I'm going to go.
Also, best wishes with your new Etsy shop. I hope that you are very successful. I've been on Etsy for a couple of years now with moderately good sales. If you need any pointers or help there, just let me know :O)
Sweet stuff, Christy. Thanks for coming over and reading my junk. Missed you at the Christmas party. Hope you had fun dancing.
