These organelles contain succinate dehydrogenase complexes and use ubiquinone, or coenzyme q, to transport electrons between the iron-sulfur proteins in Complexes I and III.

These organelles contain succinate dehydrogenase complexes and use ubiquinone, or coenzyme q, to transport electrons between the iron-sulfur proteins in Complexes I and III. These shape-changing organelles oxidize NADH and pyruvate, and their unique, maternally-inherited DNA suggests that, like chloroplasts, they were once endosymbionts. The inner of their two membranes have cristae, which are squiggle-shaped folds where the electron transport chain occurs. For 10 points, name these cellular organelles in which the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation occur, synthesizing ATP for energy for the cell.
