Detailed explanation-1: -The organelle in the cell that is the site of aerobic respiration is the Mitochondria. Specifically, the krebs cycle takes place within the mitochondrial matrix and the electron transport chain (oxidative phosphorylation) takes place on the cristea (folds in the inner membrane of the mitochondria).

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondrial matrix of the cell. Mitochondria produces energy through aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria are made up of an outer membrane, an inner membrane, and a gooey matrix inside. They get their nickname “the powerhouse of the cell” because they are home to most of the cellular respiration process, which produces ATP for the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitochondria are organelles, they have membranes specialized for aerobic respiration. Oxidation of substances (chemical) takes place in mitochondria. It absorbs oxygen and releases energy and carbon dioxide. So, respiration takes place in mitochondria.
