Markscheme
Award marks for any of the following clearly drawn and correctly labelled.
cristae;
inner membrane;
outer membrane;
intermembrane space;
matrix;
ribosomes;
DNA;
cristae provide surface area for oxidative phosphorylation;
inner membrane contains electron transport chains/ATP synthase (which carry out oxidative phosphorylation);
outer membrane separates the mitochondrion from the rest of the cell;
mitrochondrial DNA/ribosomes make (mitochondrial) proteins;
small volume intermembrane space allows for higher concentration of protons;
matrix has enzymes for the Krebs cycle;
