Question

Choose the correct answers from the alternatives given :
The large number of ATPs produced are

• A. inside the mitochondria matrix and diffuse out through the membrane
• B. inside the mitochondria matrix and leave through a channel protein
• C. outside the mitochondria and diffuse in through the membrane
• D. outside the mitochondria and enter through a channel protein

Answer 1

The correct option is B inside the mitochondria matrix and leave through a channel protein

ATP is the energy currency of cell which is produced in the process of aerobic respiration. In the glycolysis total of 8 ATP's are produced while in Krebs cycle a total of 24 ATP's are produced which occurs inside the inner mitochondrial membrane and then diffuses out of the mitochondria to the cytoplasm through facilitated diffusion which requires channel protein.

So, the correct option is ' inside the mitochondria matrix and leave through a channel protein'.
