Solution

Mitochondria:

  1. Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles that provide the majority of chemical energy for metabolic processes in the cell.
  2. Adenosine triphosphate is a tiny molecule that stores the chemical energy created by mitochondria (ATP).

Enzyme for electron transport in Mitochondria:

  1. The mitochondrial membrane that separates the mitochondrial matrix from the intermembrane gap is known as the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is the location of the electron transport system.
  2. It converts energy by oxidative phosphorylation, which demands a large number of enzymes.
  3. Hence, it is found in the inner membrane.
