A. Soluble proteins into the mitochondrial matrix space
✓
B. Lipids from the smooth endoplasmic reticulum
C. mRNA molecules into the nucleolus matrix
D. Secretory vesicles into the trans-Golgi network

📝 Explanation

The TIM23 complex is the primary translocase channel that threads unfolded precursor proteins across the inner mitochondrial membrane into the matrix.
