In which cellular organelle citric acid cycle and electron t

Solution

The citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain take place in the mitochondria.

Mitochondria are the organelle present in the cell, which can be seen only through electron microscope. They are bounded by a double membrane the outer membrane projects to the cytoplasm and the inner membrane project into the matrix.

The inner membrane is convoluted into several folds, called “cristae.” The surface area of the inner membrane is increased by cristae. Matrix contains a concentrated mixture of enzymes, which play an important role in the metabolism of nutrients.

The main function of mitochondria is energy production. And so, because of this function, they often called as “power hoses of the cell.”
