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).
a unit of mass used in particle physics. Mass and energy are related by Einstein's famous equation, E = mc 2. The constant c is the speed of light, 299.79 x 10 6 m/sec. An energy of 1 electronvolt is therefore equivalent to a mass of about 1.782 662 x 10-33 gram, or about 1.073 544 x 10-9 atomic mass unit.
