Which organelle is where aerobic respiration occurs?
A
Mitochondria
B
Chloroplast
C
Cytoplasm
D
Ribosome
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 is involved in aerobic respiration. It generates ATP by utilizing the protein complexes present in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The two major process like TCA cycle and electron transport system majorly take place in mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria are organelles whose membranes are specialized for aerobic respiration. The matrix of the mitochondria is the site of Krebs Cycle reactions. The electron transport chain and most ATP synthesis rely on the compartments created by the inner membrane of the mitochondria.
