Glycolysis arrow$\rightarrow$ Cytoplasm ETS arrow$\rightarrow$ Inner Mitochondrial Membrane Proton Accumulation arrow$\rightarrow$ Intermembrane Space Krebs' Cycle arrow$\rightarrow$ Mitochondrial Matrix

Core Logic

• Glycolysis: Cytoplasm arrow$\rightarrow$ III
• ETS (Electron Transport System): Inner mitochondrial membrane arrow$\rightarrow$ I
• Accumulation of protons: Intermembrane space arrow$\rightarrow$ IV
• Krebs' cycle: Mitochondrial matrix arrow$\rightarrow$ II

Step 1: Match Verification

Sequence: A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II. Correct option is (2).

Pattern Recognition

Glycolysis = Cytoplasm (A-III). Krebs cycle = Matrix (D-II). Matches option (2).
