The ATP synthase complex is located in the

A) cytoplasm outside the mitochondria.
B) matrix inside the mitochondria.
C) cristae of the mitochondria.
D) outer membrane of the mitochondria.
E) plasma membrane of the cell.

ATP Synthase Complex

An enzyme complex that synthesizes ATP from ADP and inorganic phosphate during cellular respiration and photosynthesis.

Cristae

The folds of the inner membrane of a mitochondrion that are involved in the electron transport chain of aerobic respiration, increasing the surface area for ATP production.

Mitochondria

Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles responsible for generating most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical reactions.
