I believe you are referring to the Kreb's cycle in mitochondria. The Krebs cycle is vital in all living cells as a part of cellular respiration. It converts 2 pyruvate molecules (from one glucose from glycolysis), to produce 6 molecules of carbon dioxide, 2 ATP (energy for the cell to use), 2 FADH molecules, and 8 NADH molecules. The pyruvate can easily pass through the mitochondria walls, with the rest of the cycle progressing inside. The mitochondria provides the water, NAD+, GDP, and Phosporous needed for the cycle.

Where do reactions of the Citric Acid cycle occur in?

The reactions of the Citric Acid cycle occur in the matrix of the mitochondria. This is where the enzymes responsible for the cycle are located, allowing the series of chemical reactions to take place and ultimately produce ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell.

Where does the Krebs cycle occur in bacteria?

The Krebs cycle in bacteria occurs in the cytoplasm. Unlike in eukaryotic cells, where it occurs in the mitochondria, bacterial cells do not have mitochondria, so the Krebs cycle takes place in the cytoplasm.


Where in the mitochondria does the citric acid cycle take place?

The citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria. This is the innermost compartment of the mitochondria where many enzymatic reactions occur to generate energy in the form of ATP.
