What type of surface does the outer membrane have ?
A smooth surface
What are folds in the mitochondria referred as ?
Cristae
What is the Matrix ?
The inside and space between the membranes

Is the outer membrane very or not very permeable?
Very Permeable
what are molecules known as in the mitochondria ?
Metabolites
What does the outer membrane have that lets molecules go in and out ?
Has bunch of holes that allow for passage
Are metabolites ATP or no ?
ATP
What type of molecule can be made freely and what is it made of ?
