In aerobic respiration for Yeast, when it comes to the Krebs cycle, where does it occur?

Aerobic Respiration
During Krebs Cycle, it’s said that the process occurs in the mitochondria, but if the yeast undergoes aerobic respiration, where would the process happen? Yeast is a prokaryotic cells, so it doesn’t have a mitochondria. So where does the Krebs cycle occurs??
Thank you!

Yeast is a eukaryote, it contains mitochondria, endoplasmic reticula, a nuclear membrane and other characteristics of eukaryotes. And the Krebs cycle occurs in the mitochondria, the only place that has the enzymes necessary for the Krebs cycle.
