Cell Cycle and Cell DivisionHard

Question

Mitochondrial cristae are sites of

Options

A.breakdown of macromolecules
B.breakdown of macromolecules
C.phosphorylation of flavoproteins
D.oxidation-reduction reactions

Solution

Mitochondiral cristae bear of functional unit, ie., oxysomes, Fernandes and Moran particles (F0 - F1 ) particles or electrons transport particles. Since, inner membrane is impermeable to ATP, thus ATP is sysnthesis on xysomes having ATPase in  F1  (stalk) and proton channel on  F0  (base). ATPase helps in oxidative phosphorylation, sysnthesize ATP through electron transport system by undergoing oxidation-reduction reactions.
