What process takes place in the mitochondria?
A
Aerobic respiration
B
Photosynthesis
C
Anaerobic respiration
D
Transpiration
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitochondria are the site of aerobic respiration. It is a membrane-bound organelle found in all cells except red blood cells. The stages of aerobic respiration that occur are glycolysis, the Kreb cycle, and the electron transport chain.

Detailed explanation-2: -The enzymes of the respiratory chain are embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane, and they are essential to the process of oxidative phosphorylation, which generates most of the animal cell’s ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -During aerobic cellular respiration, glucose reacts with oxygen, forming ATP that can be used by the cell. Carbon dioxide and water are created as byproducts. The overall equation for aerobic cellular respiration is: In cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen react to form ATP.
