Question

4 multiple choice 1 point glycolysis takes place in the ______ and the citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation take place in the ______. mitochondrial matrix; inner mitochondrial membrane cytoplasm; mitochondria cytoplasm; endoplasmic reticulum mitochondria; cytoplasm intermembrane space of the mitochondria; mitochondrial matrix

Explanation:

Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm, breaking down glucose into pyruvate. The citric - acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation occur in the mitochondria. The citric - acid cycle takes place in the mitochondrial matrix, and oxidative phosphorylation occurs on the inner mitochondrial membrane. Overall, the citric - acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation occur in the mitochondria.

Answer:

B. cytoplasm; mitochondria
