The spherical head of oxisomes is called as?
Inner membrane of cristae bears F1particles or oxysomes which have a spherical head subtended by a stalk and a base (Fo). F1subunit of oxysome is an integral protein embedded in the membrane lipid and Fo- F1combination functions as ATP synthetase catalysing ATP synthesis.
Oxysomes are the structures which are present on the surface of the folded Inner Membrane of the Mitochondria. They are also called f0-f1 particles or ATP synthase. They play the most important role in the formation of energy for the functioning of the cell.
