In which part of the mitochondria, ATP is generated, ____
A
Matrix
B
Cristae
C
Outer membrane
D
F1 particles
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -F1 particle is found in the matrix of mitochondria and is found attached to the cristae . It performs a very major role in the formation of ATP molecules as it contains an enzyme called ATPase.

Detailed explanation-2: -F1 Particles. Hint: ATP is formed by the process called oxidative phosphorylation which takes place in the mitochondria of the cell. Complete answer: The ATP is formed in the process called oxidative phosphorylation or the electron transport chain.

Detailed explanation-3: -F1 particles are also known as oxysomes or elementary particles or F1-F0 particles. These particles are present in matrix side of mitochondrial inner membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct answer is ‘Inner mitochondrial membrane’.
