Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where does the first stage of cellular respiration take place?
A
chlorophyll
B
chloroplast
C
cytoplasm
D
mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Waste and carbon dioxide are released as by-products. Glycolysis is the first step in cellular respiration that occurs in the cytoplasm within the mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-2: -The first stage of cellular respiration, called glycolysis, takes place in the cytoplasm. In this step, enzymes split a molecule of glucose into two molecules of pyruvate, which releases energy that is transferred to ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glycolysis, the first step of cellular respiration, occurs in the cytoplasm of your cells. During this process, a glucose molecule is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate (pyruvic acid).

Detailed explanation-4: -Stage one of cellular respiration is glycolysis. Glycolysis is the splitting, or lysis of glucose. Glycolysis converts the 6-carbon glucose into two 3-carbon pyruvate molecules. This process occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell, and it occurs in the presence or absence of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
