Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of these statements is incorrect?
A
Glycolysis operates as long as it is supplied with NADthat can pick up hydrogen atoms
B
Oxidative phosphorylation takes place in outer mitochondrial membrane
C
Glycolysis occurs in cytosol
D
Enzymes of TCA cycle are present in mitochondrial matrix
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Oxidative phosphorylation that occurs in the outer mitochondrial matrix is the incorrect statement.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the mitochondria’s inner membrane oxidative phosphorylation takes place. The intermembrane gap and the mitochondrial matrix are where the proton gradient is produced.

Detailed explanation-3: -Oxidative phosphorylation is the final step in cellular respiration. It occurs in the mitochondria. It is linked to a process known as electron transport chain. The electron transport system is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glycolysis operates as long as it is supplied with NAD that can pick up hydrogen atoms that are released during oxidation of PGAL. Enzymes of TCA cycle are present in the mitochondrial matrix space. Oxidative phosphorylation takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
