Mitochondria are enclosed by a double-membrane system made up of an inner and an outer membrane. The space between these two membranes is called (surprise!) the intermembrane space. The inner membrane encloses the interior of the mitochondrion, which is known as the mitochondrial matrix.The inner membrane also forms a large number of folds, called cristae, that extend into the matrix.See Fig.he space between these two membranes is called (surprise!) the intermembrane space.

1 The strict definition of relative atomic mass (Ar) is that it equals the average mass of all the isotopic atoms present in the element compared to 1/12th the mass of a carbon-12 atom (relative isotopic mass of 12.0000).
The atomic mass is the mass of an atom. Its unit is the unified atomic mass units where 1 unified atomic mass unit is defined as 1â12 of the mass of a single carbon-12 atom, at rest. For atoms, the protons and neutrons of the nucleus account for almost all of the mass, and the atomic mass measured in u has nearly the same value as the mass number. When divided by unified atomic mass units or daltons to form a pure numeric ratio, the atomic mass of an atom becomes a dimensionless value ...
