Cristea of mitochondria are the sites of:

Correct answer: A. Electron transport chain

  • A. Electron transport chain
  • B. Photophosphorylation
  • C. Krebs cycle
  • D. Glycolysis

Explanation

The correct answer is A, the electron transport chain, which occurs on the cristae of the mitochondria. These folds provide a large surface area for the chain's protein complexes to facilitate ATP production. Photophosphorylation (Option B) occurs in chloroplasts, not mitochondria. The Krebs cycle (Option C) takes place in the mitochondrial matrix, not the cristae. Glycolysis (Option D) occurs in the cytoplasm, outside of the mitochondria.
