Question

Protruding from the inner membrane of the mitochondria into the matrix are knoblike spheres called ________ complexes, which are attached by a short protein stalk to a(n) ________ complex. Together these complexes are referred to as the ________ complex.

a. ATP synthase, cytochrome c, electron transport
b. NADH dehydrogenase, cytochrome c, electron transport
c. Pyruvate dehydrogenase, ATP synthase, citric acid cycle
d. Cytochrome c oxidase, ATP synthase, electron transport

Answer 1

The knoblike spheres protruding from the inner membrane of mitochondria into the matrix are called ATP synthase complexes, which are attached by a short protein stalk to a cytochrome c complex. These complexes together form the electron transport complex.
