Which of these statements is incorrect?

A

Enzymes of the TCA cycle are present in the mitochondrial matrix

B

Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol

C

Glycolysis operates as long as it is supplied with NAD that can pick up hydrogen atoms

D

Oxidative phosphorylation takes place in the outer mitochondrial membrane

Step-by-Step Solution

the Electron Transport System (ETS) and the associated process of oxidative phosphorylation take place in the inner mitochondrial membrane, not the outer membrane. The other statements are correct: the TCA cycle enzymes are located in the mitochondrial matrix, glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm (cytosol), and NAD+ is required for glycolysis to proceed.
