Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which cell structure helps with aerobic cellular respiration?
A
chloroplast
B
cytoplasm
C
mitochondrion
D
ribosome
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Structure of the Mitochondrion: Key to Aerobic Respiration. The aerobic phases of cellular respiration in eukaryotes occur within organelles called mitochondria. These aerobic phases are the Krebs Cycle and the electron transport chain.

Detailed explanation-2: -The mitochondrial inner membrane is extensive and involves substantial infoldings called cristae that resemble the textured, outer surface of alpha-proteobacteria. The matrix and inner membrane are rich with the enzymes necessary for aerobic respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Eukaryotic organisms like plants and animals rely on the cell organelle called the mitochondrion for the majority of the energy output from cellular respiration. Prokaryotic organisms like bacteria also perform cellular respiration, but the process instead takes place in the organism’s cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondrial matrix of the cell. Mitochondria produces energy through aerobic respiration.
