Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Contains enzymes for the linking reaction and Krebs cycle.
A
cristae
B
matrix
C
inner membrane
D
outer membrane
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The key enzymes involved are: (A) pyruvate dehydrogenase; (B) citrate synthase; (C) isocitrate dehydrogenase; (D) -ketoglutarate dehydrogenase and succinyl-CoA synthetase; (E) succinic dehydrogenase; (F) fumarase; (G) malate dehydrogenase.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Krebs cycle consists of many enzymes, but the enzyme which is membrane-bound to the mitochondrial inner membrane is an enzyme that is also utilized in the Electron transport system (ETS). Complete answer: The enzyme that is membrane-bound in the Krebs cycle is succinic dehydrogenase.

Detailed explanation-3: -10: Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Links Glycolysis to Krebs Cycle.

Detailed explanation-4: -All enzymes of the TCA cycle are located in the mitochondrial matrix except one which is located in the inner mitochondrial membranes in eukaryotes and in the cytosol in prokaryotes.
