Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where does electron transport of cellular respiration happen within the cell of a bacterium?
A
plasma membrane
B
mitochondria
C
chloroplast
D
nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These electron transfers take place in the plasma membrane of bacteria and archaea, or in specialized protein complexes in the inner membrane of the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -The electron transport chain occurs in the cell membrane of prokaryotes, whereas the mitochondrial inner membrane is the site where electron transport occurs in eukaryotes. As electrons are transported in the cell membrane of prokaryotes, a proton concentration gradient is created across the membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of each cell of the body. Glycolysis occurs inside the cytoplasm, while the TCA cycle occurs inside the matrix of the mitochondria.
