    5. inner mitochondrial membrane
  • What is the outer mitochondrial membrane
    separates the contents of the mitochondrion from the rest of the cell creating a cellular compartment for aerobic respiration
  • What is the Cristae
    Projections of inner membrane which increase the SA for oxidative phosphorylation
  • what is the matrix
    Contains enzymes for the kerbs cycle, link reaction and mitochondrial DNA
  • What is the inter-membrane space 

    Proteins pumped into this space by electron transport chain
  • what is the inner mitochondrial membrane
    Contains electron transport chains and ATP synthase
  • What is aerobic respiration
    With oxygen
  • What is anaerobic respiration
    Without oxygen
  • Where do anaerobic and aerobic respiration occur
    Aerobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm and mitochondria and anaerobic respiration only occurs in the cytoplasm
  • What is glycolysis
    It is the first stage in both anaerobic and aerobic respiration
  • What does aerobic respiration produce more of
    ATP
