Which of the following does not occur within mitochondria? Correct Answer Glycolysis

The correct answer is Glycolysis.

  • Glycolysis is the Cytoplasm Phase.
    • The word glycolysis means "glucose splitting".
    • It is the first stage of cellular respiration.
    • It is an anaerobic process - it does not need oxygen to proceed.
    • There are three Stages of Glycolysis:
      • (1) Glucose is trapped and destabilized.
      • (2) Two interconvertible three-carbon molecules are generated by cleavage of six-carbon fructose.
      • (3) ATP is generated.
  • Mitochondria are tubular-shaped organelles that are found in the cytoplasm of every eukaryotic cell.
    • They called the powerhouses of the cell because they generate large quantities of energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
    • They also have a special role in making cells die (apoptosis).
  • Krebs cycle is also known as Citric Acid Cycle or Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle.
    • It takes place in the mitochondrial matrix.
    • In this process, glucose and other molecules are breaks down into carbon dioxide and water in the presence of oxygen.
    • 2 ATP is produced in the Krebs cycle.
  • During electron transport, the participating protein complexes push protons from the matrix out to the intermembrane space.
    • This creates a concentration gradient of protons that another protein complex, called ATP synthase.
  • The Electron Transport chain can be found inside the mitochondrion.
    • It removes electrons from electron donors to electron receiver through redox reactions.
    • This stage produces most of the energy (34 ATP).
