Solution
The correct option is D Mitochondria Kreb's cycle takes place in the mitochondrial matrix. The pyruvate formed by the reduction of glucose in the glycolysis is broken into acetyl-CoA which enters the Kreb's cycle and condenses with oxaloacetate to form citrate. One pyruvate molecules produce 15 ATP and two pyruvate molecules lead to the production of 30 ATP.
