Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Unlike photosynthesis, cellular respiration occurs in?
A
animals only
B
plants and bacteria only
C
bacteria only
D
all eukaryotes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Unlike photosynthesis, cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondrion (plural mitochondria) of the cell. Chloroplasts are only found in the cells of plants and other photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms.

Detailed explanation-2: -All living cells must carry out cellular respiration. It can be aerobic respiration in the presence of oxygen or anaerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are found throughout the eukaryotic world. They are complementary to each other because they each use products of the other process.

Detailed explanation-4: -In eukaryotic cells, the pyruvate molecules produced at the end of glycolysis are transported into mitochondria, which are the sites of cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-5: -How are cellular respiration and photosynthesis opposite processes? Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and cellular respiration puts it back. Photosynthesis releases oxygen into the atmosphere, and cellular respiration uses that oxygen to release energy for food.
