- Mitochondria
- Matrix
- Contains enzymes for Link Reaction and Krebs Cycle
- Both Link Reaction and Krebs Cycle occur here
- Also contains: NAD, Oxaloacetate (for Krebs Cycle), mitochondrial DNA and mitochondrial ribosomes
- All respiration processes occur here, except Glycolysis
- Inner Mitochondrial Membrane
- Folds into cristae to increase surface area- active cells have more cristae
- Oxidative Phosphorylation occurs here
- Phospholipid bilayer (different lipid composition to outer membrane)
- Has stalked particles (ATP synthase) used for oxidative phosphorylation
- Outer Mitochondrial Membrane
- Phospholipid Bilayer
- Contains proteins forming channels/ carriers for molecules e.g. pyruvate
- Controls substances between intermembrane space and cytoplasm of cell
- Matrix
