Cell: The Unit of Life · Question 89

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. [Figure]

1. Part (B) : Inner membrane – forms infoldings called cristae
2. Part (C) : Cristae – possess single circular DNA molecule and ribosomes
3. Part (A) : Matrix – major site for respiratory chain enzymes
4. Part (D) : Outer membrane – gives rise to inner membrane by splitting
