Answer:
Main steps in aerobic respiration are as follows
- Glycolysis: Occurs in the cytoplasm(cytosol) where glucose is broken down to pyruvic acid.
- Oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvic acid to acetyl coenzyme-A: Takes place inside the mitochondrial matrix.
- TCA or Krebs cycle takes place in Mitochondrial matrix where pyruvic acid is oxidized to transform the energy contained in these molecules into ATP.
- Electron transport chain occurs in mitochondrial membrane involves ATP synthase complex.
