Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Mitochondria
Glycolysis occurs in cytoplasm and converts glucose into two molecules of pyruvic acids. Pyruvic acid molecules are oxidized completely inside the mitochondria in Kreb's cycle and ATP is produced. This production of ATP is called oxidative phosphorylation because it involves oxidation of food, i.e., glucose and hence, mitochondria is called as power house of the cell.
