Mitochondria are organelles that have a double membrane structure. The outer membrane defines the external shape of the mitochondrion. The inner membrane has many folds called cristae. (Cristae is the plural word for more than one crista.) The volume between the inner and outer membranes is called the intermembrane space, which is sometimes written "inter membrane space". The volume enclosed by the inner membrane is called the "matrix" or, if written in full, the matrix of the mitochondrion.
The matrix of each mitochondrion contains the enzymes of the TCA cycle, which is also known more fully as the tricarboxylic acid cycle - and also as the citric acid cycle, the Krebs cycle, and the Szent-Györgyi–Krebs cycle. The matrix also contains other structures and molecules including ribosomes, matrix granules and mitochondrial DNA.
