Where does the Krebs Cycle take place?
A
Cristae
B
Matrix
C
cytoplasm
D
nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Where does the citric acid (Krebs) cycle occur in human cells? Explanation: The citric acid (Krebs) cycle takes place in the mitochondrial matrix. The Krebs cycle involves using acetyl-CoA as a substrate to produce high energy electron carriers and to later participate in electron transport, ultimately yielding .

Detailed explanation-3: -In the eukaryotic cells, these enzymes are present in the matrix of the mitochondria and hence it takes place there. In prokaryotic cells, the cells lack mitochondria and hence the Krebs’s cycle takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. At the end of this cycle, two ATP s are produced.
