Enzymes for oxidative phosphorylation are present on:
Correct answer: A. Cristae
- A. Cristae
- B. Inner compartment
- C. Outer compartment
- D. Outer membrane
Explanation
The cristae are the folded structures of the inner mitochondrial membrane where oxidative phosphorylation takes place. These folds maximize the surface area available for housing the enzymes and protein complexes involved in the electron transport chain and ATP synthesis.

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.
