Concept explainers
Interpretation: To identify the correct statement regarding the mitochondrion structure.
Concept introduction: Mitochondria are the organelles which are sausage-shaped and consist of the outer and inner membrane. The inner membrane has multifold and is highly impermeable. It is
The mitochondrion is divided into two different compartments due to the highly impermeable nature of the inner membrane. The compartments are the matrix and inner membrane space. The interior space is known as matrix and space between the inner and outer membrane is known as inner membrane space.
