What is the cristae of a mitochondria?
The outer membrane
The inner membrane
The inside
What does the matrix contain?
Gel like substance made up of proteins and lipids. Also contains looped mitochondrial DNA, mitochondrial ribosomes and enzymes.
Large transport proteins for active transport and many ribosomes for protein synthesis
The putter membrane has a phospholipid composition.
The inner membrane has the same phospholipid composition as the outer membrane.
