THE KREBS CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In what organelle does cell respiration take place?
A
Mitochondria
B
Chloroplast
C
Golgi Apparatus
D
Nucleus
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 play host to one of the most important processes in your body, called cellular respiration. Taking in glucose and oxygen, mitochondria produce energy, which they capture and package as energy-rich molecules of ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the mitochondria, cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondrial matrix through the Krebs cycle to form ATP, FADH2 and NADH. The formed FADH2 and NADH then go into the inner mitochondrial membrane where they are involved in the electron transport chain to form more ATP molecules.
