True
Both the inner and outer membranes of the mitochondrion have distinct roles in cellular respiration. The outer membrane serves as a boundary and contains porins that allow for the passage of ions and molecules. Meanwhile, the inner membrane is where the electron transport chain and ATP synthesis occur. The compartments created by these membranes, including the intermembrane space and the mitochondrial matrix, are essential for the various steps of cellular respiration, including the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation.
