Carriers of the respiratory chain are located on:
Correct answer: C. Inner membrane of mitochondria
- A. Matrix of mitochondria
- B. Outer membrane of mitochondria
- C. Inner membrane of mitochondria
- D. Cytoplasmic matrix In cystic fibrosis
Explanation
The carriers of the respiratory chain are located on the inner membrane of mitochondria. This membrane is highly folded into structures called cristae, which increase its surface area and provide a platform for the respiratory chain complexes involved in electron transport and 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.
