Enzymes in mitochondrial matrix help in which of the following metabolic processes?
Correct answer: D. ALL A, B, C
- A. Krebs cycle
- B. Aerobic respiration
- C. Fatty acid metabolism
- D. ALL A, B, C
Explanation
The correct answer is ALL A, B, C. The mitochondrial matrix is the site where enzymes catalyze the Krebs cycle, a central component of aerobic respiration, and fatty acid metabolism through beta-oxidation. Each of these processes involves the conversion of molecules into energy-rich compounds, such as ATP and NADH. While the Krebs cycle and aerobic respiration are closely related processes, fatty acid metabolism independently contributes to energy production in the mitochondria.
