Question

identify where each of the events occur within a eukaryotic cell during cellular respiration. each cellular location may be used once, more than once, or not at all. conversion of pyruvate to acetyl - coa the majority of atp is generated breakdown of glucose to pyruvate citric acid cycle answer bank mitochondrial membrane plasma membrane cytosol mitochondrial matrix

Explanation:

The conversion of pyruvate to acetyl - CoA occurs in the mitochondrial matrix. The majority of ATP is generated in the mitochondrial membrane through oxidative phosphorylation. The breakdown of glucose to pyruvate (glycolysis) occurs in the cytosol. The citric acid cycle takes place in the mitochondrial matrix.

Answer:

conversion of pyruvate to acetyl - CoA: mitochondrial matrix
the majority of ATP is generated: mitochondrial membrane
breakdown of glucose to pyruvate: cytosol
citric acid cycle: mitochondrial matrix
