10 Questions
What is the major protein component of the mitochondrion membrane?
Porin, which forms large aqueous channels
Where does the Krebs cycle take place in the mitochondria?
Matrix
What is the role of NAD+ in cellular respiration?
Accepts high energy electrons from organic molecules and transports them to the electron transport chain
In which region of the cell are mitochondria often found?
Regions with high ATP consumption
What is the function of microtubules in relation to mitochondria?
They move mitochondria inside the cell
Where do high-energy electrons used by mitochondria come from?
Electron transport chain in the inner mitochondrial membrane
What is the process by which ATP stores energy?
Oxidative phosphorylation
Which components are part of the electron transport chain in mitochondria?
Cytochrome c and ATP synthase
What is the main role of the outer membrane of mitochondria?
Facilitating the entry and exit of molecules like pyruvate and ATP
What is the role of NAD and FAD in cellular respiration?
Acting as electron carriers in the electron transport chain
