ATP synthase is located in the _ of the mitochondrion.
Correct answer: D. Inner membrane
- A. Intermembrane space
- B. Outer membrane
- C. Matrix
- D. Inner membrane
Explanation
ATP synthase is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane of the mitochondrion. More specifically, it is embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane and protrudes into the mitochondrial matrix. This location is crucial for the function of ATP synthase in the process of oxidative phosphorylation.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
