How Can Histological Techniques Aid in the Study of Electron Transport?

Histological techniques, such as staining and electron microscopy, can be used to study the structure and function of mitochondria in various tissues. For instance, mitochondrial staining can highlight the presence of mitochondria, while electron microscopy can provide detailed images of the electron transport chain components. These techniques help researchers understand how changes in mitochondrial structure correlate with functional changes in electron transport and ATP production.
