Mention the important series of events of aerobic respiration that occurs in the matrix of the mitochondrion as well as one that takes place in the inner membrane of the mitochondrion.

Answers (1)

The important series of events of aerobic respiration that occur in the are as follows:
a) The matrix of mitochondria

  1. Complete oxidation of pyruvate. This oxidation is a step-by-step procedure. It involves the elimination of all the atoms of hydrogen, leaving behind three molecules of CO2.
  2. The inner membrane of the mitochondrion.

Oxygen acts as an electron acceptor here. As the hydrogen atoms are passed to oxygen atoms, the removal of electrons takes place along with the formation of ATP molecules.
