Fig. 1. Structure of Toxoplasma gondii. The left-hand transparent view of a cell, mid-way through mitosis with two daughter cells forming, shows the conoid (green), inner membrane complex (IMC, red), and subpellicular microtubules (green), which run along the cytoplasmic face of the IMC. The right-hand view shows a longitudinal section of this cell with subpellicular microtubules removed for clarity. Lobes of the dividing nucleus, bordered by ER (yellow-green), Golgi (yellow), and apicoplast (mauve) are surrounded by the developing daughter IMCs (orange). Two rhoptries (secretory organelles, purple) are shown just below the maternal conoid at the apical end of the cell.
