Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where does aerobic respiration take place?
A
Cytoplasm
B
Mitochondria
C
Stroma
D
Thylakoid
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: -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-4: -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.
