The inner surface of cristae in the mitochondrial matrix has small knob like structures known as:
Correct answer: A. F1 particles
- A. F1 particles
- B. F0 particles
- C. Matrix
- D. F-ATPase
Explanation
These are the knob-like tips of ATP synthase (F. ATPase) embedded in the thylakoid membrane. The embedded part of ATP synthase is called the F1 particle. The inner surface of cristae in the mitochondrial matrix has small knob-like structures called "F1 particles" or "F1F0 ATP synthase complexes."
