Detailed explanation-1: -Eukaryotes carry out cellular respiration with the help of mitochondria. Mitochondria are organelles that produce the enzymes necessary to catalyze the series of reactions that produce ATP. Mitochondria are required to carry out cellular respiration in eukaryotic organisms.

Detailed explanation-2: -Oxygen is required for cellular respiration and is used to break down nutrients, like sugar, to generate ATP (energy) and carbon dioxide and water (waste). Organisms from all kingdoms of life, including bacteria, archaea, plants, protists, animals, and fungi, can use cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Eukaryotic organisms like plants and animals rely on the cell organelle called the mitochondrion for the majority of the energy output from cellular respiration. Prokaryotic organisms like bacteria also perform cellular respiration, but the process instead takes place in the organism’s cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration is essential to both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells because this biochemical energy is produced to fuel many metabolic processes, such as biosynthesis, locomotion, and transportation of molecules across membranes.

Detailed explanation-5: -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).
