it is called the matrix. :)
The Krebs cycle occurs in the matrix, which is the space inside the inner membrane of the mitochondria where the cristae are located. The enzymes and other components necessary for the Krebs cycle are found in the matrix, allowing for the metabolic reactions to take place.
During the Krebs cycle,pyruvic acid is broken down into carbon dioxide in a series of energy-extracting reactions
Cristae are the folds in the inner membrane of mitochondria that increase its surface area for cellular respiration. The matrix is the fluid-filled space inside the inner membrane where the citric acid cycle and other metabolic reactions take place.Together, Cristae and the matrix play a crucial role in generating ATP through aerobic respiration.
Hans Krebs discovered the Krebs cycle, also known as the citric acid cycle, in 1937.
they will enter the Krebs cycle
most become reactants in the electron transport chain
Krebs cycle.
The many cristae in mitochondria increase surface area, allowing for more enzymes involved in the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain (ETC) to be embedded. This enhances the efficiency of these processes as it allows for more reactions to occur simultaneously, leading to increased ATP production.
Fumarate and aspartate are the compounds that are linked between the urea cycle and the Krebs cycle. Fumarate from the Krebs cycle can be converted to arginine in the urea cycle, while aspartate from the urea cycle can be converted to oxaloacetate in the Krebs cycle.
The mitochondrial matrix is found inside the inner membrane of mitochondria. It is a compartment where many biochemical reactions of cellular respiration take place, such as the Krebs cycle. The matrix also contains its own DNA and ribosomes for protein synthesis.
