Question

In the reaction C6H12O6 + 6 O2 ? 6 CO2 + 6 H2O, the reactions that results in the liberation of CO2 occur where in a cell?

a)In the mitochondrial matrix of a eukaryotic cell and the cytosol of a prokaryotic cell.

b)In both the intermembrane space and mitochondrial matrix of a eukaryotic cell and the cytosol of a prokaryotic cell.

c)In the cytosol of both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.

d)In both the cytosol and mitochondrial matrix of a eukaryotic cell and the cytosol of a prokaryotic cell.

e)In the intermembrane space of a eukaryotic cell and the cytosol of a prokaryotic cell.

Explanation / Answer

Option b is the correct answer. CO2 is produced in Kreb cycle which occurs in mitchndrial matrix in eukaryotic and in cytosol in prokaryotes. The reactions which produces CO2 in Kreb cycle occurs in inner mitochondrial matrix and in intermembrane space. Thus, option b is correct.
