Question

In which part of mitochondria, ATP is generated?

• A. Matrix
• B. Cristae
• C. Outer membrane
• D. F${}_1$ particles (oxysomes)

Answer 1

The correct option is D F${}_1$ particles (oxysomes)

• The F${}_1$ particles or oxysomes located on the inner mitochondrial membrane.
• It allows the passage of protons from the peri-mitochondrial space to the matrix and carries on ATP synthesis using the difference in free energy during the transport of protons along the electrochemical gradient.

So, the correct answer is F$_1$ particles (oxysomes).
