Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The inner mitochondrial membrane does not play a role in the production of pyruvate. Pyruvate is produced in the cytoplasm during glycolysis and is then transported into the mitochondrial matrix for further processing in the citric acid cycle. The other statements are true: electron carriers such as cytochromes and ubiquinone are found in the inner mitochondrial membrane, a gradient of H+ (protons) is established across the inner mitochondrial membrane by the electron transport chain, and ATP synthase is responsible for producing ATP using the energy from the H+ gradient.
