Which of the following occurs in the mitochondria of all cells?
A
photosynthesis
B
respiration
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So the correct answer is ‘Oxidative phosphorylation ’.

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: -Mitochondrial respiration is the set of metabolic reactions and processes requiring oxygen that takes place in mitochondria to convert the energy stored in macronutrients to adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the universal energy donor in the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitochondria Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular) that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell’s biochemical reactions. Chemical energy produced by the mitochondria is stored in a small molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Detailed explanation-5: -Both the cycles that are named as citric acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation occur in the mitochondria of a cell.
