Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of animals, plants, and fungi, and also in algae and other protists. It is often called aerobic respiration because the process requires oxygen (the root aer comes from the Greek word for “air”).
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of all living organisms. What does cellular respiration produce? Cellular respiration produces energy, which is vital because the energy is used to maintain life. The process is carried out by both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration can occur both aerobically (using oxygen), or anaerobically (without oxygen).
