Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cellular respiration occurs in which organelle?
A
mitochondria
B
nucleus
C
Golgi body
D
lysosome
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: -Mitochondria are tiny organelles inside cells that are involved in releasing energy from food. This process is known as cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the mitochondria, cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondrial matrix through the Krebs cycle to form ATP, FADH2 and NADH. The formed FADH2 and NADH then go into the inner mitochondrial membrane where they are involved in the electron transport chain to form more ATP molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration is the process in which organisms use oxygen to break the food molecules to get chemical energy for the functions of cells. Cellular respiration takes place in the organelle, mitochondria.
