Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria are surrounded by a double-membrane system, consisting of inner and outer mitochondrial membranes separated by an intermembrane space (Figure 10.1). The inner membrane forms numerous folds (cristae), which extend into the interior (or matrix) of the organelle.
Detailed explanation-2: -The outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) and inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) delineate two aqueous compartments, the intermembrane space (IMS) (yellow color) between the OMM and the IMM, and the matrix (light blue), which is the innermost compartment.
