CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What type of cell does cell respiration happen in?
A
Plant cells
B
Animal cells
C
Both
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: -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-3: -In almost all prokaryotes and eukaryotes, aerobic respiration occurs in the cells. The end products of this type of respiration are water, CO2 and energy. Aerobic respiration can only take place with the help of oxygen. It occurs in three stages: glycolysis, citric acid cycle, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration is a process that occurs in the mitochondria of all organisms. In this process, both plants and animals break down simple sugars into carbon dioxide and water and release energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-5: -Glycolysis is a common step for both aerobic and anaerobic respiration. It takes place in the cytoplasm and is independant of the presence or absence of oxygen. Two molecules of pyruvic acid/pyruvate is formed as the end product of glycolysis.
