Oxidative Phosphorylation
Yes, it is possible to prepare vesicles from portions of the inner membrane of mitochondria. These vesicles can retain certain functionalities such as the electron transport chain and ATP synthase activities. Due to the preserved inner membrane components, processes like oxidative phosphorylation and ATP production can still occur within these isolated membranes.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) crosses the mitochondrial membrane to provide energy for cellular processes.
The inner mitochondrial membrane is important for ATP generation because it houses the electron transport chain and ATP synthase, which are integral components of oxidative phosphorylation. Through this process, the inner mitochondrial membrane generates a proton gradient that drives the production of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
This depends on whether you are a eukaryote, bacteria or archaea. In eukaryotes, the electron transport chain components are on the mitochondrial membrane.In bacteria and archaea, since there are no membrane-enclosed compartments, they are on the cellular membrane.
The ribbon-like folds on the inner lining of the mitochondrial membrane are called cristae.

Through this process, the inner mitochondrial membrane generates a proton gradient that drives the production of ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate.
The components of the electron transport chain are embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane to facilitate the efficient transfer of electrons and the generation of a proton gradient, which is necessary for ATP production. Being embedded in the membrane allows for the organization of the components in a specific sequence to create a functional chain. It also helps to prevent the loss of protons and electrons to ensure the proper functioning of the electron transport chain.
Yes, pyruvate can cross the mitochondrial membrane through specific transport proteins.

The proteins of the electron transport chain (ETC) are located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. This is where the series of complexes involved in electron transfer and ATP production are situated.
Mitochondria are surrounded by membranes.They have two membranes.
