The fluid that is inside the inner membrane of a mitochondrion?

The inner membrane of mitochondria contains an electron transport chain and an ATP synthase. This is because oxidative phosphorylation, the third and final step in cellular respiration, occurs in the mitochondrial inner membrane. The electron transport chain is comprised of protein complexes of electron carriers (I, II, Q, III, Cyt c, and IV), and the ATP synthase is made up of a rotor, stator, rod, and a knob with 3 catalytic sites.
In case you'd also like to know how the electron transport chain and ATP synthase works:
NADH and FADH2 shuttle high-energy electrons extracted from food during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle to the electron transport chain. As the electrons are transported "downhill" from protein complex to protein complex with increasing electronegativity, H+ is pumped into the mitochondrial intermembrane space and flows down its gradient back across the membrane through the ATP synthesis, producing ATP through chemiosmosis.

I got Mitochondrial matrix
but im failing so....
it should be right

It is like cytoplasm of the cell. It contains enzymes,ribosomes,biological molecules etc

What are the folded inner membranes inside mitochondria are called?
The inner membrane folds in a mitochondrion are called cristae.
What are the projections on the inner membrane of a mitochondria called?
The convolutions in the inner membrane of a mitochondrion are referred to as the cristae. Mitochondrion refers to an organelle found in most cells whereby energy production and respiration takes place.
What occurs in the in the inner membrane of the mitochondria?
The passing on of excited electrons from protein to protein. This is known as the electron transport chain that occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion.
Are the nucleus and the mitochondrion surrounded by two layers of unit membrane?
The inner mitochondrial membrane is highly folded.
Where in the cell the Krebs cycle takes place?
Both occur inside an intracellular inclusion, or organelle, known as a mitochondria. More specifically, the Kreb's cylce (also called the citric acid cycle) occurs in the "matrix"(or inner space) of the mitochondrion. Electron transport occurs in the "cristae" (or folds of the inner membrane) of the mitochondrion.
What is Mitochondrial Matrix?
The Fluid that is inside the inner membrane of a mitochondrion.
What are the folded inner membranes inside mitochondria?
The inner membrane folds in a mitochondrion are called cristae.
What is the large central fluid filled cavity of a mitochondrion enclosed by the inner mitochondrial membrane?
Matrix
What are the folded inner membranes inside mitochondria are called?
The inner membrane folds in a mitochondrion are called cristae.
Where will ATPase be found in the mitochondrion?
inner membrane
What are the projections on the inner membrane of a mitochondria called?
The convolutions in the inner membrane of a mitochondrion are referred to as the cristae. Mitochondrion refers to an organelle found in most cells whereby energy production and respiration takes place.
A single mitochondrion consists of?
An outer membrane and an inner membrane, the inner membrane being used during cellular respiration
What steps of celuar respiration occurs inside the mitochondrion?
Kreb cycle in cristae.The electron transport chain in inner membrane.
WHere within the cells does cellular desperation occur?
It begins in the cytoplasm and then moves into the mitochondrion if there is enough oxygen present. Inside the mitochondrion it occurs in the matrix (center area) and the inner membrane.
Were is most of the cells ATP is made and stored in the inner membrane?
The mitochondrion
Why do mitochondrion have squiggly lines through them?
The squiggly lines are called cristae. They are formed by the infolding of the inner membrane of the mitochondrion.
Has an outer membrane and an inner one which is folded to form cristae?
mitochondrion
