Yes, the mitochondrial membrane is permeable to protons.
Yes, pyruvate can cross the mitochondrial membrane through specific transport proteins.
They are usually transmembrane proteins.
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) crosses the mitochondrial membrane to provide energy for cellular processes.
Cristae
Channel proteins belong to the classification of transmembrane proteins known as integral membrane proteins.
The ribbon-like folds on the inner lining of the mitochondrial membrane are called cristae.
It important that some proteins extend all the way through the bilayer of a plasma membrane. This is to offer protection to the cell and also facilitate the transport of various substances in and out of the cell.
Electron transport occurs in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. Specifically, the four protein complexes of the electron transport chain (ETC) exist as transmembrane complexes in the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
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.
Membrane proteins.
A protein that forms an ion channel through a membrane is most likely to be a transmembrane protein. Transmembrane proteins span the lipid bilayer, allowing them to create channels for ions to pass through the membrane. Peripheral proteins are typically found on the surface of the membrane and do not form channels.
