What is the ultra structure of a mitochondrion?
A
cristae, inner matrix and diaphysis
B
cristae, ganglia and outer membrane
C
creatine, inner matrix and outer membrane
D
cristae, inner matrix and outer membrane
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ultrastructure of Mitochondria: Mitochondria are bounded by an envelope consisting of two concentric membranes, the outer and inner membranes. The space between the two membranes is called inter-membrane space. A number of invaginations occur in the inner membrane; they are called cristae (Fig. 2.21).

Detailed explanation-2: -The mitochondrion is a double-membraned, rod-shaped structure found in both plant and animal cell. Its size ranges from 0.5 to 1.0 micrometre in diameter. The structure comprises an outer membrane, an inner membrane, and a gel-like material called the matrix.

Detailed explanation-3: -The inner and outer membranes of mitochondria define three compartments within the organelle, each with its distinct role and corresponding protein components. The innermost compartment, surrounded by the inner membrane, is the mitochondrial matrix.
