Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration is the process that occurs in the mitochondria of organisms (animals and plants) to break down sugar in the presence of oxygen to release energy in the form of ATP. This process releases carbon dioxide and water as waste products. 8. Plants have mitochondria and can perform cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is the process by which organisms use oxygen to break down food molecules to get chemical energy for cell functions. Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of animals, plants, and fungi, and also in algae and other protists.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants carry out both photosynthesis and cellular respiration. They make their own food, and then break down those glucose molecules later, generating ATP to power their cellular processes.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
