Detailed explanation-1: -The mitochondrion is referred to as the ‘power house’ of the cell, because it is responsible for the synthesis of the majority of ATP under aerobic conditions. The inner membrane of the mitochondrion contains the components of the electron transport chain.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondria are the organelle where ATP is generated through oxidative phosphorylation and several diseases are associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress.
Detailed explanation-3: -The human mitochondrial (mt) ATP synthase, or complex V (EC 3.6. 3.14) is the 5th multi subunit oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complex. It synthesizes ATP from ADP in the mitochondrial matrix using the energy provided by the proton electrochemical gradient (Capaldi et al.
