Mitochondrial potassium cycle Mitochondria are structurally complex.The inner membrane contains the essential the electron transport proteins and exchange carriers
Mitochondrial potassium cycle • Mitochondria are structurally complex. The inner membrane contains the essential components of the electron transport proteins and all of the exchange carriers

Mitochondrial potassium cycle The mitochondrial K+cycle consists of influx and eux pathways forK,H and anion These ions are exchanged between the matrixand the intermembrane space (IMS however,the outer membrane (OM)does not present a barrier to further exchange of small ions with the cytosol
Mitochondrial potassium cycle • The mitochondrial K+ cycle consists of influx and efflux pathways for K+ , H+ , and anions • These ions are exchanged between the matrix and the intermembrane space ( IMS ); however, the outer membrane (OM) does not present a barrier to further exchange of small ions with the cytosol
