Question

171/ During cellular respiration, acetyl COA
accumulates in which location ?
(1)Cytosol
(2) Mitochondrial matrix
(3) Outer chamber or intermembrane space of
mitochondria
(4) Inner membrane of mitochondria​

Answer 1

Answer:

MITOCHONDRIAL MATRIX

Explanation:

Answer 2

Option (2) Mitochondrial matrix is the correct answer

Mitochondrial matrix  is accumulated during cellular respiration.

Explanation:

• During cellular respiration, acetyl COA accumulates in Mitochondrial matrix  location.
• Acetyl CoA is the substance which is generated by oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate, the end-product of glycolysis.
• The oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate occurs in mitochondrial matrix.
• Acetyl CoA formation takes place in the mitochondrial matrix.
• This formation takes place through a process called beta-oxidation.
• The breakdown of fatty acids is Beta-oxidation which produces acetyl CoA.
• The mitochondrion is mainly an organelle.
• This organelles are those structures which perform certain specific jobs within the cell.
