Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Correct answer is option 3 i.e. 2.

Mitochondria have two membrane envelopes:

  1. Inner mitochondrial membrane
  2. Outer mitochondrial membrane
  • These membranes play important roles in mitochondria's functions, such as the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell's primary energy currency.
  • The inner mitochondrial membrane has several folds called cristae, which increase the surface area, including various biochemical reactions involved in cellular respiration.
