Mitochondrial Matrix
What is the Mitochondrial Matrix and what does it do?
In the mitochondrion, the matrix is the space within the inner membrane. The word "matrix" stems from the fact that this space is viscous, compared to the relatively aqueous cytoplasm.
Function. The mitochondrial matrix is the site of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, a series of enzymatic reactions initiated by the conversion of pyruvate and fatty acids to acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA). Pyruvate and fatty acids are transported into mitochondria from the cytoplasm by membrane-bound permeases.

What is ATP?
Adenosine triphosphate is an organic compound and hydrotrope that provides energy to drive many processes in living cells, e.g. muscle contraction, nerve impulse propagation, condensate dissolution, and chemical synthesis.
