During complete oxidation of glucose oxidative decarboxylation occurs in
Options
- ACytoplasm
- BInner membrane of mitochondria
- CMatrix of mitochondria
- DBoth A and C
Correct answer
C. Matrix of mitochondria
Step-by-step solution
During complete oxidation of glucose two oxidative decarboxylation reaction occurs one in link reaction when pyruvic acid is oxidized to acetyl CoA and second in Kreb's cycle when alpha-ketoglutaric acid is oxidized to succinyl CoA. Both these reactions occur in the matrix of mitochondria.
