B Have identical polypeptide chains than those in bacteria
C Are encoded by a different set of genes to those in bacteria
D Are encoded by genes which show some homology with those in bacteria


Question 21
Protons enter the inter-membranal space. To do so, they cross the inner mitochondrial membrane

A By diffusion
B By osmosis
C By active transport
D By facilitated diffusion


Question 22
During anaerobic respiration ATP synthase

A Functions at a much reduced level
B Is down regulated
C Does not function due to an absence of oxygen
