this is the site of cellular respiration
A
Mitochdria
B
Chloraplast
C
Nuclear membrane
D
centriole
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: -It takes place in the mitochondria of a cell. Here, energy is produced, because of this, mitochondria are called the powerhouse of the cell. So, Mitochondria are the site for cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use. Each cell contains hundreds to thousands of mitochondria, which are located in the fluid that surrounds the nucleus (the cytoplasm).

Detailed explanation-4: -Final answer: The site of cellular respiration in an animal cell is the mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
