Two regions of a mitochondrion are labeled A (innermost compartment) and B (between membranes).

Mitochondrion A B B

Which best identifies regions A and B?

  • A

    A = lumen; B = matrix

  • B

    A = matrix (Krebs); B = intermembrane space (high H+)

    check_circle
  • C

    A = stroma; B = thylakoid

  • D

    A = cytosol; B = inner membrane

Explanation

The matrix (A) holds Krebs enzymes. Between inner and outer membranes is the intermembrane space (B), which accumulates H+ pumped by the ETC.
