RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where in the cell does anaerobic respiration take place?
A
Nucleus
B
Cytoplasm
C
Mitochondria
D
Cell membrane
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: -Anaerobic respiration (both glycolysis and fermentation) takes place in the fluid portion of the cytoplasm whereas the bulk of the energy yield of aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria. So, the correct answer is “Cytoplasm."

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: -The inner and outer membranes of the mitochondrion play an important roles in aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-5: -Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondrial matrix of the cell. Mitochondria produces energy through aerobic respiration.
