Organization and Function of Mitochondria.

The inner membrane forms numerous folds (cristae), which extend into the interior (or matrix) of the organelle.itochondria are surrounded by a double-membrane system, consisting of inner and outer mitochondrial membranes separated by an intermembrane space (Figure 10.1).
