 Matrix (biology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In biology, matrix (plural: matrices) is (1) the material between animal or plant cells, or (2) generally the material (or tissue) in which more specialized structures are embedded, and also (3) a specific part of the mitochondrion that is the site of oxidation of organic molecules.
A matrix is also a medium in which bacteria are grown (cultured).
For instance, a Petri dish of agar may be the matrix for culturing a sample swabbed from a patient's throat.
