In its matrix, a molecule of pyruvate is converted into a molecule of carbon dioxide, a molecule of NADH, and a molecule of acetyl­coenzyme A. The Krebs cycle then takes place, creating NADH, FADH2, as well as carbon dioxide.
In its matrix, a molecule of pyruvate is converted into a molecule of carbon dioxide, a molecule of NADH, and a molecule of acetyl­coenzyme A. The Krebs cycle then takes place, creating NADH, FADH2, as well as carbon dioxide. The NADH and FADH2 then produce ATP in the electron transport chain, which occurs in this organelle's membrane. For ten points, identify this cellular organelle, whose inner membrane folds are called cristae – the organelle often referred to as "the powerhouse."
