Match List I with List II.

List I List-II
A. Citric acid cycle I. Cytoplasm
B. Glycolysis II. Mitochondrial matrix
C. Electron transport system III. Intermembrane space of mitochondria
D. Proton gradient IV. Inner mitochondrial membrane

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

a

A-IV, B-III, C-II, D-I

b

A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV

c

A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III

d

A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II

✓ Correct answer: c)

A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III

Explanation
  • A. Citric acid cycle → Mitochondrial matrix (II):
    The citric acid (Krebs) cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix where enzymes for the cycle are located.

  • B. Glycolysis → Cytoplasm (I):
    Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm and breaks down glucose into pyruvate.

  • C. Electron transport system → Inner mitochondrial membrane (IV):
    The ETS (electron transport chain) is embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

  • D. Proton gradient → Intermembrane space (III):
    During electron transport, protons (H⁺) are pumped into the intermembrane space, creating a proton gradient used for ATP synthesis.
