Cytochromes are found in

  1. cristae of mitochondria
  2. lysosomes
  3. matrix of mitochondria
  4. outer wall of mitochondria.

Answer

(1) cristae of mitochondria

Solution

As per NCERT, the inner mitochondrial membrane forms a number of infoldings called cristae, and the electron transport system (complexes I–IV, including cytochromes bc1, c and a–a3) is present in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

∴ Cytochromes are found in the cristae of mitochondria (the matrix contains the enzymes of the Krebs cycle).

The chemiosmotic coupling hypothesis of oxidative phosphorylation proposes that adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is formed because

  1. a proton gradient forms across the inner membrane
  2. there is a change in the permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane toward adenosine diphosphate (ADP)
  3. high energy bonds are formed in mitochondrial proteins
  4. ADP is pumped out of the matrix into the intermembrane space
