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 listed on the periodic table is typically called atomic weight, and is the weighted average of the masses of all the naturally occurring isotopes of a chemical â¦ element. The term atomic weight is now controversial, and may be phased out in the future.
