Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The import of mitochondrial matrix proteins from the cytoplasm requires the use of ATP to drive protein translocation across the outer and inner membranes of the mitochondria. Additionally, an electrochemical proton gradient across the inner membrane is necessary to drive the movement of proteins through the protein import machinery in the inner membrane. Potassium is not involved in this process.
