Quiz on Krebs Cycle or TCA Cycle or Tricarboxylic acid Cycle

Kreb cycle is the second step in plant respiration. It occurs in the mitochondrial matrix. In honour of Krebs, cyclic chemical changes occurring in the matrix of the mitochondrion together are called Krebs cycle. First organic acid formed during Krebs cycle is citric acid. Hence Krebs cycle is also called citric acid cycle. It is also known as tricarboxylic acid (TCA) as citric acid. Read more>>

1. In a eukaryotic cell, most of the enzymes of the citric acid cycle are located in the
inner mitochondrial membrane.
mitochondrial matrix
outer mitochondrial membrane
cytosol

2. Most of the ATP made during cellular respiration is generated by
