Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
F1 particles are also known as ____,
A
Electron transport particles
B
Elementary particles
C
Cytochrome
D
Cristae
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -F1 particles are also called as oxysomes or elementary particles . They participate in oxidative phosphorylation and produce ATP by usin enzyme known as ATP synthase.

Detailed explanation-2: -The F1 fraction derives its name from the term “Fraction 1” and FO (written as a subscript letter “o”, not “zero”) derives its name from being the oligomycin binding fraction. Oligomycin, an antibiotic, is able to inhibit the FO unit of ATP synthase.

Detailed explanation-3: -F0 and F1 (oxysomes) particles are found in the innermost mitochondrial region and are attached to the cristae and help in ATP production and oxidation. > F1 particle is found in the matrix of mitochondria and is found attached to the cristae.
