Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Where does aerobic respiration occur?

A	glucose molecule
B	mitochondria
C	cytoplasm
D	chloroplast

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: -Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration where respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen. It takes place in the cytoplasm since most anaerobic cells do not have specialized organelles whereas aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-3: -The aerobic phases of cellular respiration in eukaryotes occur within organelles called mitochondria. These aerobic phases are the Krebs Cycle and the electron transport chain.

Detailed explanation-4: -Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondrial matrix of the cell. Mitochondria produces energy through aerobic respiration.
