Question

match each stage of cellular respiration with the cellular location in which it occurs. labels may be used once, more than o view available hint(s) stage of cellular respiration location glycolysis cytosol acetyl coa formation citric acid cycle oxidative phosphorylation

Explanation:

• Acetyl CoA formation: Pyruvate (from glycolysis) enters mitochondria. In mitochondrial matrix, it's converted to acetyl CoA.
• Citric acid cycle: Also called Krebs cycle. Occurs in mitochondrial matrix. Acetyl CoA combines with oxaloacetate to start the cycle.
• Oxidative phosphorylation: Involves electron - transport chain (in inner mitochondrial membrane) and chemiosmosis. Proton gradient (between intermembrane space and matrix) drives ATP synthesis.

Answer:

• acetyl CoA formation: mitochondrial matrix
• citric acid cycle: mitochondrial matrix
• oxidative phosphorylation: inner mitochondrial membrane
