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: -Mitochondria have an important role in cellular respiration through the production of ATP, using chemical energy found in glucose and other nutrients.
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.
