Question

Function of outer membrane in mitochondria

Answer 1

The outer membrane is the gateway to the mitochondrion, just like the cell membrane is for the cell. It has porins to allow smaller proteins in and protein complexes to allow bigger proteins in. It works in concert with the inner membrane to allow these proteins into the matrix

The membranes create two compartments. The intermembrane space, as implied, is the region between the inner and outer membranes. It has an important role in the primary function of mitochondria, which is oxidative phosphorylation. The matrix contains the enzymes that are responsible for the citric acid cycle reactions.
