The figure below shows the structure of a mitochondrion with its four parts labelled (A), (B), (C) and (D).
Select the part correctly matched with its function.
Part (D): Outer membrane Gives rise to inner membrane by splitting.
Part (B): Inner membrane Forms infoldings called cristae.
Part (C): Cristae Possess single circular DNA molecule and ribosomes.
Part (A): Matrix Major site for respiratory chain enzymes.
Correct Answer :
B. Part (B): Inner membrane Forms infoldings called cristae.
The mitochondrial inner membrane forms infoldings known as cristae, which allow greater surface area for protein such as cytochrome to function properly and efficiently.
