8 The passage below outlines the structure of the mitochondrion. Complete the passage by using the most appropriate scientific term(s). The mitochondrion is found in eukaryotic cells. It is bound by a double membrane. The outer membrane is permeable to pyruvate, which is the main product of **....................................................................................................................................** .
