Name three molecules, excluding coenzymes, that are present in the mitochondrial matrix and state how each functions in aerobic respiration.
Suggest why the inner membrane contains a very high proportion of the molecule cardiolipin.
Explain how hydrogen atoms from reduced NAD and reduced FAD produce a membrane potential across the inner mitochondrial membrane during oxidative phosphorylation.
Suggest and explain how $P_i$ is carried across the inner membrane of the mitochondrion into the matrix.
Suggest the benefits of coupling ATP transport with ADP transport across the inner membrane of the mitochondrion.
