Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cellular respiration is a process that occurs in the ____ of all organisms
A
cellulose
B
glucose
C
mitochondria
D
lungs
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria are energy-producing organelles. The multi-layered process of converting food into energy is called cellular respiration. A pathway is a series of biochemical reactions. Cellular respiration refers to a series of pathways occurring in the presence of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Cellular respiration is a process that occurs in the mitochondria of all organisms. In this process, both plants and animals break down simple sugars into carbon dioxide and water and release energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular respiration is a metabolic pathway that breaks down glucose and produces ATP. The stages of cellular respiration include glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, the citric acid or Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cellular respiration occurs in the cells of all living things, both autotrophs and heterotrophs.
