In the eukaryotic cells, the citric acid cycle occurs in the matrix of the mitochondria. The proton gradient due to the electron transport chain is created across the inner mitochondrial membrane and this gradient is utilized for the production of ATP.
In prokaryotic cells, the citric acid cycle is performed in the cytosol. The proton gradient due to the electron transport chain is created across the plasma membrane and this gradient is utilized for the production of ATP.
