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: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of each cell of the body. Glycolysis occurs inside the cytoplasm, while the TCA cycle occurs inside the matrix of the mitochondria.
Detailed explanation-4: -Ribosomes are essential for protein synthesis, but they are present in mitochondria and plastids, the sites of respiration and photosynthesis.
