Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -ATP. Specifically, during cellular respiration, the energy stored in glucose is transferred to ATP (Figure below). ATP, or adenosine triphosphate, is chemical energy the cell can use. It is the molecule that provides energy for your cells to perform work, such as moving your muscles as you walk down the street.

Detailed explanation-4: -Listen to pronunciation. (sel RES-pih-RAY-shun) A chemical process in which oxygen is used to make energy from carbohydrates (sugars). Also called aerobic metabolism, aerobic respiration, and oxidative metabolism.
