What happens in the Mitochondria?
A
Aerobic respiration takes place.
B
Anaerobic respiration takes place.
C
Genetic material is stored.
D
Chemical reactions take place.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A type of respiration occurring in the presence of oxygen is called aerobic respiration. It takes place in the mitochondria of the cell and produces energy. Mitochondria of the cell are also termed the cell’s powerhouse as it is involved in the process of respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitochondria Function Cellular respiration is the process of making ATP using the chemical energy found in glucose and other nutrients. In mitochondria, this process uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide as a waste product.

Detailed explanation-3: -Aerobic respiration breaks down glucose and combines the broken down products with oxygen, making water and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is a waste product of aerobic respiration because cells do not need it.

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.
