Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This is the correct description of elementary particles.
A
They are composed of F1 & F0 particles, where F1 is called as head part, F0 is the elementary part that is inserted into the inner membrane
B
They are composed of F0 & F1 particles, where F0 is called as head part, F1 is the elementary part that is inserted into the inner membrane
C
They are composed of F1 & F2 particles, where F1 is called as head part, F2 is the elementary part that is inserted into outer membrane
D
They are composed of F1 & F0 particles, where F1 is called as head part, F0 is the elementary part that is inserted into outer membrane
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -F1 particles are present in the inner mitochondrial space of the mitochondrion. It is attached on the infoldings called the cristae. F1 particles are also known as oxysomes or elementary particles or F1−F0 particles. They are responsible for ATP synthesis and oxidation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Oxysomes or F0-F1 particles are spherical or knob-like structures present in the inner membrane of the mitochondria. These are also called elementary particles or particles of Fernandez and Moran. These particles are responsible for catalysing the final steps of ATP synthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -F0−F1 particles present in the inner mitochondria! membrane are involved in the synthesis of ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate), the energy currency of the cell.
