Mitochondrial Electron Transport Takes Place

Question

Mitochondrial electron transport takes place
A)on the outer mitochondrial membrane.
B)on the inner mitochondrial membrane.
C)in the fluid matrix of the mitochondria.
D)on the outer mitochondrial membrane and on the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Accepted Answer

Mitochondrial electron transport takes place on the inner mitochondrial membrane, specifically on a set of protein complexes known as the electron transport chain. The electrons transfer through these complexes and ultimately to oxygen, resulting in the production of ATP.
