Plants use some of the glucose they produce for respiration. Respiration occurs in the ____ (in cells).
A
Ribosome
B
Mitochondria
C
Chloroplast
D
Vacuole
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Glucose is produces in the chloroplast of a cell. The chloroplast is an organelle that is located in the plant cell and uses the process of photosynthesis to produce glucose. It does it by taking sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide and making glucose and oxygen out of the ingredients.

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: -Glycolysis takes place in the cytoplasm. Within the mitochondrion, the citric acid cycle occurs in the mitochondrial matrix, and oxidative metabolism occurs at the internal folded mitochondrial membranes (cristae).
