Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The mitochondrial matrix contains a large variety of enzymes, including those that convert pyruvate and fatty acids to acetyl CoA and those that oxidize this acetyl CoA to CO2through the citric acid cycle.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondrial enzymes use most of the energy released from the breakdown of nutrients to synthesize ATP, the common currency for most energy-requiring reactions in cells (Fig. 1.12). This efficient process uses molecular oxygen to complete the oxidation of fats, proteins, and sugars to carbon dioxide and water.
