Solution
The correct option is D ATP
Mitochondria is a double membrane-bound(outer membrane and inner membrane) cell organelle found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.
Mitochondria are responsible for the conversion of nutrients into energy-yielding molecule ATP to fuel cell activities. Mitochondria is frequently referred to as powerhouse of the cell.
The inner membrane is loaded with proteins involved in electron transport and ATP synthesis. This membrane surrounds the mitochondrial matrix, where the citric acid cycle produces the electrons that travel from one protein complex to the next in the inner membrane. Hence it is permeable to ATP.
