Question

Oxysomes/ $F_0-F_1$ particles are centre of oxidative phosphorylation are found in?

• A. Matrix of mitochondria
• B. Thylakoids
• C. Inner membrane of mitochondria
• D. Stroma

Answer 1

The correct option is C Inner membrane of mitochondria

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell. In the inner membrane of mitochondria, cristae provide an increase in the surface area. Oxysomes or Fo-F1 particles are the small round bodies found in the folds of cristae in the inner mitochondrial membrane, are involved in ATP synthesis. Fo-F1 particles act as hydrogen transporters, at once 2H+ are come out to synthesize one ATP molecule.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.
