Which Step in Producing ATP is Correctly Paired with the Location

Question

Which step in producing ATP is correctly paired with the location where it occurs?
A)Krebs cycle-mitochondrial matrix
B)formation of an electrochemical gradient-cytoplasm
C)glucose is broken down to produce pyruvate-space between inner and outer mitochondrial membranes
D)electron transport chain-outer mitochondrial membrane
E)breakdown of pyruvate to form NADH and FADH2-cytoplasm

Accepted Answer

The Krebs cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, takes place in the mitochondrial matrix. This is where acetyl-CoA is oxidized to produce NADH and FADH2, which are used in the electron transport chain to produce ATP.
