Based on Figure 9.5, which of the following statements correctly identifies the primary locations of the major stages of cellular respiration in eukaryotic cells?
A: Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol, while pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation occur in the mitochondrion.
B: All stages of cellular respiration, including glycolysis, occur exclusively in the mitochondrion.
C: Glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, and the citric acid cycle occur in the cytosol, while oxidative phosphorylation occurs in the mitochondrion.
D: All stages of cellular respiration occur exclusively in the cytosol.
Explanation
Figure 9.5 clearly labels 'CYTOSOL' for Glycolysis and 'MITOCHONDRION' for Pyruvate Oxidation, Citric Acid Cycle, and Oxidative Phosphorylation, indicating their respective locations in eukaryotic cells.
