Detailed explanation-1: -Matrix-the innermost compartment of the mitochondrion & site of Krebs cycle reactions. 2 steps-Citric Acid Production & Energy Extraction. Pyruvic acid is broken down into CO2 which produces Citric Acid.
Detailed explanation-2: -The innermost compartment, surrounded by the inner membrane, is the mitochondrial matrix.
Detailed explanation-3: -In eukaryotes, the Krebs cycle reactions take place in the mitochondrial matrix, a dense solution that surrounds the mitochondria crests: in addition to water, the matrix contains all the enzymes necessary for the biochemical reactions of the cycle, coenzymes, and phosphates.
Detailed explanation-4: -inner membrane is called the matrix in mitochondria and the stroma in chloroplasts. Both spaces are filled with a fluid containing a rich mixture of metabolic products, enzymes, and ions.
