True
The inner membrane of the mitochondria is impermeable
In the space between the inner and outer membrane
Where is the proton gradient?
The Krebs Cycle
What reactions occur in the matrix of the mitochondria?
False. It is almost 80% protein
The inner membrane is mainly composed of phospholipid rather than protein
In order to capture the energy. If we did it in one jump, FADH2 or NADH to oxygen, we would lose more energy to heat as per the second law of thermodynamics
