Q10 - Cellular structures

Which process occurs within mitochondria? A) Cellular respiration B) The formation of microbodies C) The methylation of sugars D) Glycolysis E) Photosynthesis
Pinned

The correct answer is A) Cellular respiration.

Mitochondria are where the aerobic part of cellular respiration happens: the Krebs cycle in the matrix and the electron transport chain on the inner membrane.

Glycolysis (D) is the part that happens outside, in the cytoplasm, so be careful with that one. Photosynthesis is in chloroplasts.
