Select the incorrect statement.
Options
- ACytochromes are found in cristae of mitochondria
- BAfter glycolysis, fate of glucose in mitochondrial matrix is reduction
- CNet gain of ATP in aerobic respiration is 36 ATP
- DThere is one step in Kreb's cycle where F A D + reduced to F A D H 2 .
Correct answer
B. After glycolysis, fate of glucose in mitochondrial matrix is reduction
Step-by-step solution
After glycolysis, pyruvic acid formed in cytoplasm enters the mitochondrial matrix and undergoes oxidation which occurs by oxidative decarboxylation to release carbon dioxide, NADH 2 and form acetyl Co-A.
