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. Large amounts of NADH (and FADH2) are produced by these oxidation reactions.
Detailed explanation-2: -As the site for main cellular respiration processes of citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, mitochondria matrix are not only the final destiny for O2 but also the site for CO2 production.
