Where in the mitochondria does the Krebs cycle occur?
Answered
The Krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix of eukaryotic cells. The matrix is surrounded by the inner mitochondrial membrane, where the products of the Krebs cycle (NADH and FADH₂) are transported to the electron transport chain for further ATP production. This compartment is critical for the biochemical reactions that generate energy and biosynthetic intermediates.
