Q

Describe the basic structure of the mitochondrion.

A
  • Outer membrane = phospholipid bi-layer that contains porins (allow access of most ions and molecules to intermembrane space)
  • Inner membrane = impermeable to most ions; maintains electrochemical gradient
  • Cristae = folds that increase surface area
  • Matrix = cytosol in center of mitochondria
