Which of these statements is incorrect?
Glycolysis operates as long as it is supplied with NAD that can pick up hydrogen atoms.
Glycolysis occurs in cytosol.
Enzymes of TCA cycle are present in mitochondrial matrix.
Oxidative phosphorylation takes place in outer mitochondrial membrane.
To solve this problem, we need to identify the incorrect statement among the given options. Let's analyze each statement:Option 1: Glycolysis operates as long as it is supplied with NAD that can pick up hydrogen atoms. - Glycolysis requires NAD to accept electrons during the conversion of glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate. - This statement is correct.Option 2: Glycolysis occurs in cytosol. - Glycolysis is a cytoplasmic process where glucose is broken down into pyruvate. - This statement is correct.Option 3: Enzymes of TCA cycle are present in mitochondrial matrix. - The TCA cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, occurs in the mitochondrial matrix. - This statement is correct.Option 4: Oxidative phosphorylation takes place in outer mitochondrial membrane. - Oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the inner mitochondrial membrane, where the electron transport chain is located. - This statement is incorrect.Therefore, the incorrect statement is Option 4.
