A molecule synthesized in the mitochondrial matrix and transported to the cytosol for subsequent reaction is Carnitine

Explanation:

The molecule of carnitine is a compound of ammonium involved in the animal, mammals, some bacteria and plant metabolism. It has two isomers - D and L carnitine. The synthesizing of carnitine by the body is necessary to keep up with the energy production of the body. It transports fatty acids to the mitochondria for energy production. Through the passive transport, the fatty acid in the matrix of mitochondria and gets transferred to the cytosol through the final reaction of carnitine.
