The inner membrane of mitochondrion forms infoldings into the inner chamber called:
Correct answer: B. Mitochondrial matrix
- A. Mitochondrial cristae
- B. Mitochondrial matrix
- C. Mitochondrial stroma
- D. Mitochondrial sap
Explanation
The inner space of mitochondria within the inner membrane in which cristae lie is called matrix. The word matrix indicates that this space is viscous as compared to relatively aqueouscytoplasm.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
