(c) : The outer membrane of mitochondrion is smooth, freely permeable to most small molecules, contains fewer enzymes and is poor in proteins. It has porin proteins which form channels for the passage of molecules through it. It allows uptake of substrates and release of \(ATP\). The inner membrane is semipermeable and regulates the passage of materials intoand out of the mitochondrion. It is rich in enzymes and carrier proteins (permeases). It is usually produced into numerous infolds called cristae (singular crista). It bears minute regularly spaced lollipop­shaped particles known as oxysomes. The rest of the inner membrane contains the electron carrier molecules of the electron transport chain.
