    Which of the following observations most strongly support the view that mitochondria contain electron transport enzymes aggregated in compact association?

    A) Mitochondria have highly folded inner wall

    B) Disruption of mitochondria yields membrane fragments, which are able to synthesis ATP

    C) A contractile protein capable of utilise ATP, which has been obtained from mitochondria

    D) Mitochondria is animal embryos have tendency to concentrate in cells, which are to become locomotory structures

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    The electron transport system consists of 5 multimeric complexes embedded in the mitochondrial inner membrane. These work in concert to derive aerobic synthesis of ATP. Mitochondrial disruption form fragments which contains enzymes of electron transport system. These enzymes are present in compact association which make them to play a significant role in electron transport system to synthesis ATP.
