Describe the four aerobic-respiration stages and locations using evidence from each question and mark scheme.
Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration in cells.
In eukaryotic cells, the mitochondrion is the organelle used for aerobic respiration.
Fig. 1.1 shows a transmission electron micrograph of a mitochondrion.
Fig. 1.1
Table 1.1 lists the four stages of aerobic respiration.
With reference to Fig. 1.1, complete Table 1.1 using the letters A-D to show where each stage occurs.
Each letter may be used once, more than once or not at all.

Correct answer:
| stage of respiration | letter |
|---|---|
| glycolysis | B |
| link reaction | D |
| Krebs cycle | D |
| oxidative phosphorylation | C |
3 marks if all four letters are correct.
2 marks if three letters are correct.
1 mark if one or two letters are correct.
