ATP synthesis depends on specialized enzyme systems located within specific parts of the mitochondrion.
Select ALL locations where energy-transfer enzyme systems are found.
Correct Answer
(1) Along the cristae
(2) In the matrix
Explanation
The energy-transfer enzyme systems that manufacture ATP are found in two locations within the mitochondrion:
- Along the cristae - the inwardly folded inner membrane
- In the matrix - the semifluid interior enclosed by the inner membrane
