The primary function of the mitochondrion is the production of ATP. To carry out this function, the mitochondrion must have all of the following except

A) the membrane-bound electron transport chain

B) proton pumps embedded in the inner membrane.

C) enzymes for glycolysis.

D) enzymes for the Krebs cycle.

E) mitochondrial ATP synthase

Enzymes for glycolysis.

Explanation:

Electron transport system may be defined as a cyclic transport of protons that result in the generation of ATP. The electron transport chain occur in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

The mitochondria requires protons pumps, some enzymes of the kreb's cycle and ATP synthase. The enzymes necessary for glycolysis are not required in the production of ATP from the mitochondria. Different complexes are important for the electron transport chain.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
