Detailed explanation-1: -D) The inner mitochondrial membrane plays a role in the production of pyruvate.
Detailed explanation-2: -Consequently, the inner mitochondrial membrane is the functional barrier to the passage of small molecules between the cytosol and the matrix and maintains the proton gradient that drives oxidative phosphorylation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: “The enzymes of the electron transfer chain embedded in the outer membrane” statement regarding the mitochondrial membrane is not correct.
Detailed explanation-4: -The mitochondrial enzymes that metabolize pyruvate are physically separated from cytosolic pyruvate pools and rely on a membrane transport system to shuttle pyruvate across the impermeable inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM).
