Question

Where in the cell does the krebs cycle part of cellular respiration occur ?

Answer 1

In the mitochondrial matrix

Step-by-step explanation:

The mitochondria is an organelle within the cytoplasm of the cell. It consists of an outer membrane, inner membrane, and matrix containing a gel-like substance. During aerobic respiration in mitochondria, cells break down sugars in the form of glucose into
`CO_(2)` (carbon dioxide) and
`H_(2) O` (water) to obtain energy in the form of ATP or adenosine triphosphate.

aerobic respiration:

C6H12O6+ 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

(glucose) (oxygen) (carbon dioxide) + (water)

The Kreb's cycle involves several enzymatic reactions, where pyruvate derivatives obtained from glycolysis, are reduced and oxidized to harvest energy as ATP.
