Q
inter membrane space
A
small, to allow fast high conc of hydrogen, to form electrochemical gradient, to allow chemiosmosis to occur
2
Q
cristae
A
folding of the inter membrane, increase surface are of inter membrane increasing space for oxidative phosphoralation

Q
inner membrane
A
embedded with protein carriers needed for electron transport chain
4
Q
