Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where does aerobic respiration occur in animal cells?
A
nucleus
B
chloroplasts
C
mitochondria
D
cytoplasm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -While most aerobic respiration (with oxygen) takes place in the cell’s mitochondria, and anaerobic respiration (without oxygen) takes place within the cell’s cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondria are double membrane bound cytoplasmic organelles present in most eukaryotic cells. They are responsible for aerobic respiration, producing energy for the cell, which they achieve through oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of animals, plants, and fungi, and also in algae and other protists. It is often called aerobic respiration because the process requires oxygen (the root aer comes from the Greek word for “air”).

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration takes the energy stored in glucose and transfers it to ATP. Cellular respiration has three stages: glycolysis: the Krebs cycle and electron transport. The inner and outer membranes of the mitochondrion play an important roles in aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-5: -The energy contained in these sugars is harvested through a process called cellular respiration, which happens in the mitochondria of both plant and animal cells.
