Detailed explanation-1: -The inner mitochondrial membrane contains many copies of a protein called the F0F1ATPase. This is also called ATP synthase. It consists of two parts: the F0 component spans the membrane and provides a channel for protons to move into the matrix from the intermembrane space.
Detailed explanation-2: -The mitochondrial inner membrane is made primarily of a phospholipid bilayer, just like the cell membrane. Embedded in this bilayer are various proteins that serve to carry out the electron transport chain.
Detailed explanation-3: -ATP synthesis takes place in the ATP synthase complex of the Electron transport chain, which is found in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
Detailed explanation-4: -It has been calculated that, for the synthesis of one ATP molecule, four protons are required (three for the ATP synthase rearrangements and one for ATP, ADP, and Pi transport [15]).
