Question

What is the function of the inner nenbrane and the outter memnbrane of a mitochondria?

Answer 1

Answer:

The inner membrane is also loaded with proteins involved in electron transport and ATP synthesis. This membrane surrounds the mitochondrial matrix, where the citric acid cycle produces the electrons that travel from one protein complex to the next in the inner membrane.

Answer 2

The outer membrane surrounds the mitochondria. It is a semi-permeable membrane similar to the cell membrane. The inner membrane is impermeable. Its function is to create more space to perform cellular respiration
