Where does the Krebs cycle take place in the cell?
The Krebs cycle takes place in the mitochondrial matrix of eukaryotic cells. The matrix houses all necessary enzymes and provides an optimal biochemical environment for the cycle’s progression. Its proximity to the inner mitochondrial membrane facilitates rapid transfer of reduced cofactors to the electron transport chain. In prokaryotic cells, the Krebs cycle operates in the cytoplasm.
