The first compartment is between the outer and inner membranes called ______
The first compartment is between the outer and inner membranes called ______
peri-mitochondrial space
The second compartment (matrix) is inside the inner membrane. The outer mitochondrial membrane is composed of about 50% phospholipids by weight and contains a variety of enzymes involved for - elongation of fatty acids - oxidation of epinephrine (adrenaline) - degradation of ______

tryptophan
The inner membrane contains proteins with three types of functions - those that carry out the oxidation reactions of the respiratory chain - ATP synthase, which makes ATP in the matrix - specific transport proteins that regulate the passage of metabolites into and out of the matrix. The energy production of the mitochondria has been called the ______
