The total surface area of mitochondria in your cells is equivalent to about 14,000 meters^2 or 4 football fields…🤯

But I’m not as big as a foot ball field how do the mitochondria in my equivalent to 2 or 4 football field

Let’s say your house is 2000 square feet on the outside. If I go inside and sum up the surface area of all the things inside it, it will be a number greater than 2000 square feet. Another example would be water filtration, the surface area required to capture all the contaminants mechanically is much greater than the exterior dimensions of the filtration housing, so too with your internal energy system

Internal surface area is much larger than external surface area in a lot of things, we just don’t often need to consider it so intimately

Ohhh smart!

I’ve never seen things in this pov.
The house illustration is just the perfect one tbh, I need to start seeing things from this point of view
