Where Does Tca Take Place?

The TCA cycle was first observed in the muscle tissue of a pigeon. It takes place in all eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. In eukaryotes, it occurs in the matrix of the mitochondrion. In prokaryotes, it takes place in the cytosol.

Where does TCA take place in bacteria?

In prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria, which lack mitochondria, the citric acid cycle reaction sequence is performed in the cytosol with the proton gradient for ATP production being across the cell's surface (plasma membrane) rather than the inner membrane of the mitochondrion.

Where does TCA and etc occur?

These reactions take place in specialized protein complexes located in the inner membrane of the mitochondria of eukaryotic organisms and on the inner part of the cell membrane of prokaryotic organisms.
