Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Where in a cell does aerobic respiration take place?

A	Cytoplasm
B	Ribosomes
C	Mitochondria
D	Nucleus
E	Chloroplasts

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: -The electron transport chain (ETC) is the last step of cellular respiration and is an aerobic process because it cannot function without oxygen. This final step of cellular respiration takes place in the inner mitochondrial membrane.

Detailed explanation-3: -Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration where respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen. It takes place in the cytoplasm since most anaerobic cells do not have specialized organelles whereas aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the cell, Aerobic respiration occurs within the mitochondria, and the anaerobic respiration occurs within the cytoplasm of a cell.
