Question

Match the plant process or characteristic with the location in which it occurs in the cell.

A) inner membrane of mitochondria
B) nucleolus
C) matrix of mitochondria
D) Golgi complex
E) cytoplasm
F) intermembrane space of mitochondria
G) extracellular space
H) outer membrane of mitochondria
I) porins
J) ribosome

1) glycolysis
2) TCA cycle
3) phospholipid synthesis
4) nucleotide phosphorylation
5) electron transport

Answer 1

Correct matches are: 1) Glycolysis - E) cytoplasm, 2) TCA cycle - C) matrix of mitochondria, 3) Phospholipid synthesis - A) and H) membranes of mitochondria, 4) Nucleotide phosphorylation - B) nucleolus, 5) Electron transport - A) inner membrane of mitochondria.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asked to match the plant process or characteristic with the appropriate location within a cell. Here are the correct matches based on the information provided and our understanding of cellular biology:

1. Glycolysis occurs in the E) cytoplasm.
2. The TCA cycle (Krebs Cycle) occurs in the C) matrix of mitochondria.
3. Phospholipid synthesis occurs in the A) inner membrane of mitochondria and also in the H) outer membrane of mitochondria, as phospholipids make up the bilayers of these membranes.
4. Nucleotide phosphorylation typically refers to processes inside the B) nucleolus, where ribosomal RNA is synthesized and initial ribosome assembly begins.
5. The electron transport part of cellular respiration occurs on the A) inner membrane of mitochondria, where ATP synthase is located and uses the proton gradient to synthesize ATP.

To summarize, the cytoplasm is the site for glycolysis, the mitochondrial matrix for the TCA cycle, both the inner and outer mitochondrial membranes participate in phospholipid synthesis, the nucleolus is where nucleotide phosphorylation occurs as part of ribosome production, and the inner membrane of mitochondria houses the electron transport chain involved in energy production.
