MICROANATOMY

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: -ATP synthesis takes place in the ATP synthase complex of the Electron transport chain, which is found in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -The majority of ATP synthesis takes place within the mitochondrial matrix during cellular respiration, with each molecule of glucose oxidized creating around 32 A T P molecules. Energy is liberated and used to pump protons out of the matrix as electrons flow down the chain, resulting in a gradient.
