In order to prevent formation of lactic acid, pyruvic acid should enter in Mitochondrial matrix.
Explanation:
- Pyruvic acid is a three carbon molecule which is the end product of glycolysis that takes place in cytoplasm.
- In presence of oxygen, pyruvic acid enters the mitochondria and goes through Krebs cycle .
- If oxygen is absent then pyruvic acid ferments to form lactic acid.
- Krebs cycle produces a pool of energy producing molecules like ATP, NADH, and FADH₂.

Formation of lactic acid, pyruvic acid should enter in Mitochondrial matrix.
Option A
EXPLANATION:
- All energy that is generated inside our body is due to breakdown of glucose molecule into simple molecules to release energy.
- This release of energy takes by a cycle called Kerb's Cycle which take place in mitochondrial matrix in which a three-carbon molecule of pyruvate is broken down in "presence of oxygen" to release energy in form of ATP.
- But, when our body requires large amount of energy for performing some strenuous exercises then more energy is required, for this breakdown of pyruvate in presence of oxygen is necessary.
- Sometimes, there is not enough oxygen then pyruvate does not enter the mitochondrial matrix and instead forms lactic acid, which releases comparatively lower energy and result of it is fatigue.
