In which one does the electron transport system take place?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a Nucleus
  2. b Ribosome
  3. c Lysosome
  4. d Mitochondrion
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: d Mitochondrion

The fourth step of respiration, the electron transport system, takes place inside the mitochondrion.

Why the other options are wrong

  • a Nucleus: The nucleus is the control centre; the electron transport system does not run there.
  • b Ribosome: Ribosomes make protein; the electron transport system does not run there.
  • c Lysosome: The lysosome digests waste; the electron transport system does not run there.
