Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the location where glycerol kinase activity occurs. Glycerol kinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of glycerol to glycerol-3-phosphate, which typically occurs in the cytosol (C).
Determine where glycogen hydrolysis takes place. Glycogen is broken down into glucose units in the cytosol (C) through the process of glycogenolysis.
Understand the role of FADH2 in cellular respiration. FADH2 is oxidized to FAD in the mitochondrial matrix (MM) during the electron transport chain.
Recognize the function of the enzyme aconitase. Aconitase is involved in the citric acid cycle, where it isomerizes citrate to isocitrate, a process that occurs in the mitochondrial matrix (MM).
Match each process with its correct location based on the above analysis: I. (C), II. (C), III. (MM), IV. (MM).
