The cell organelle where cellular respiration occurs is the-
A
nucleus
B
mitochondria
C
cell membrane
D
ribosomes
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: -Summary. Mitochondria are organelles whose membranes are specialized for aerobic respiration. The matrix of the mitochondria is the site of Krebs Cycle reactions. The electron transport chain and most ATP synthesis rely on the compartments created by the inner membrane of the mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria is the main organelle involved in the respiration. Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell whose membranes are specialized for aerobic respiration. The energy released is trapped in the form of ATP for use by all the energy-consuming activities of the cell.
