The Inner Boundary Membrane is Particularly Rich in Which of the Following

Question

The inner boundary membrane is particularly rich in which of the following?
A)protons
B)transporter proteins responsible for the import of mitochondrial proteins
C)Krebs cycle enzymes
D)enzymes of the glycolytic pathway
E)glycosaminoglycans

Accepted Answer

The inner boundary membrane of mitochondria contains transporter proteins responsible for the import of mitochondrial proteins. This membrane serves as a gatekeeper, controlling the entry of proteins into the highly specialized environment of the mitochondria. A) Protons are present in the intermembrane space of mitochondria, not the inner boundary membrane. C) and D) Enzymes of the Krebs cycle and glycolytic pathway are primarily found within the mitochondrial matrix, not the inner boundary membrane. E) Glycosaminoglycans are not typically found in mitochondrial membranes.
