Inner mitochondrial membrane

A thin, smooth phospholipid bilayer shown as a narrow double-line or double-layered ribbon, strongly folded into repeated inward cristae-like ridges and tight wavy curves characteristic of the inner membrane of a mitochondrion. The membrane has a continuous contour and highly convoluted surface, with bilayer structure indicated by parallel lines or rounded hydrophilic head groups with a hydrophobic interior. It is depicted in a clean biological diagram style. Some versions include embedded protein complexes, while others omit them, but the image should focus on the specialized folded internal membrane rather than the whole organelle.
