Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitochondria have two membranes, an inner and outer membrane, and the inner space contains a fluid matrix. Mitochondria are the site of cellular respiration, containing enzymes and other proteins needed for this process. Mitochondria also contain DNA and ribosomes, allowing them to partially self-replicate and produce some of their own proteins. However, mitochondria do not have a single membrane for cellular respiration.
