Krebs cycle in mitochondria takes place in:
Correct answer: C. Matrix
- A. Cytosol
- B. Outer Membrane
- C. Matrix
- D. Inner Membrane
Explanation
The matrix of a mitochondrion refers to the central compartment enclosed by the inner mitochondrial membrane. Mitochondria are double-membraned organelles found in eukaryotic cells, and they are often referred to as the "powerhouses of the cell" due to their role in energy production.The two main compartments of a mitochondrion are the intermembrane space (between the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes) and the matrix (enclosed by the inner mitochondrial membrane).

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
