B) The double membrane structure creates an interior space to store mitochondrial DNA separate from the nucleus.
C) The double membrane structure creates an intermembrane space to pump hydrogen ions into during the electron transport chain.
D) The double membrane structure creates an outer membrane with many infoldings to produce greater surface area for the reactions it carries out.
