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

Where does cellular respiration occur? Which organelle breaks down food molecules into usable molecules?

A	ribosome
B	cytoskeleton
C	chloroplast
D	mitochondria

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: -Cellular respiration is the process by which organisms use oxygen to break down food molecules to get chemical energy for cell functions. Cellular respiration takes place in the cells of animals, plants, and fungi, and also in algae and other protists.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cells do cellular respiration to extract energy from the bonds of glucose and other food molecules. Cells can store the extracted energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

Detailed explanation-4: -Cellular Respiration: The process by which mitochondria break down food molecules to produce ATP.
