(A)Mitochondria have a highly folded inner wall
(B)Disruption of highly folded inner wall mitochondria yields membrane fragments, which are able to synthesise ATPCorrect
(C)A contractile protein capable of utilising ATP has been obtained from mitochondria
(D)Mitochondria in animal embryos have a tendency to concentrate in cells, which are to become locomotory structures.

Answer: (B)
