Explanation / Answer

   1.   Glycolysis or EMPpathway occurs in the cytoplasm. In this Glucose is broken down totwo molecules of pyruvic acid.    2.   Pyruvic acid undergoesoxidative decarboxylation and forms Acetyl Coenzyme A beforeentering mitochondrion.    3.   Krebs cycle takes placein matrix of mitochondrion. Acetyl group from Acetyl CoA leaves outCoAand combines with Oxaloacetic acid forming citric acid. Citricacid undergoes reacions, gives out CO2, and regeneratesOAA.    4. The generation of ATPs takes place in ETSof mitochondrion.
