Question

Mitochondrial matrix possesses

• A. Enzymes of Krebs cycle and protein synthesis
• B. Formation of Leucocytes
• C. Enzyme of Calvin cycle
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Enzymes of Krebs cycle and protein synthesis

Mitochondrial matrix is a ground substance enclosed by the inner membrane. The matrix is important in the production of ATP with the aid of the ATP-producing enzyme i.e., the enzymes of Krebs cycle. The matrix contains a highly concentrated mixture of hundreds of enzymes, special mitochondrial ribosomes, tRNA, and several copies of the mitochondrial DNA genome and thus, involved in protein synthesis also.
