Question

Pyruvate enters the Krebs cycle when oxygen is present. Where does this happen in the eukaryotic cell?

  1. Lysosome
  2. Mitochondria
  3. Chloroplast
  4. Plastid

hintHint:

Krebs cycle occurs in mitochondrial membrane

The correct answer is: Mitochondria


    • When oxygen is present,  pyruvate is converted to acetyl coenzyme A 
    • This acetyl coenzyme A then enters the Krebs cycle 
    • Krebs cycle runs in mitochondrial matrix that contains all the required enzymes,  coenzyme and phosphates
