Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The inner membrane of mitochondria consists of two morphologically distinct subdomains. One subdomain, the IBM, is tightly apposed to the OM, and the other one forms the CM.
Detailed explanation-2: -The inner mitochondrial membrane contains many copies of a protein called the F0F1ATPase. This is also called ATP synthase. It consists of two parts: the F0 component spans the membrane and provides a channel for protons to move into the matrix from the intermembrane space.
Detailed explanation-3: -Complex IV of ETS refers to cytochrome oxidase complex containing cytochrome-a and a3 and two copper centres.
