(i) __A__ is the site of complete oxidation of pyruvate by the stepwise removal of all the hydrogen atoms.
(ii) __B__ molecules are released in the above process.
A | B | |
1. | Mitochondrial matrix | 3 |
2. | Perimitochondrial space | 2 |
3. | Mitochondrial matrix | 6 |
4. | Inner mitochondrial membrane | 3 |
Complete oxidation of pyruvate occurs in mitochondrial matrix during link reaction and Krebs cycle.
3CO2 are released for the oxidation of each pyruvic acid molecule.
