Cellular Respiration breaks down glucose and gives of water, carbon dioxide and ATP. Where in the cell does this occur?
A
chloroplast
B
mitochondria
C
Golgi apparatus
D
nucleus
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Most of the steps of cellular respiration take place in the mitochondria. Oxygen and glucose are both reactants in the process of cellular respiration. The main product of cellular respiration is ATP; waste products include carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cellular respiration is the aerobic process by which living cells break down glucose molecules, release energy, and form molecules of ATP . Generally speaking, this three-stage process involves glucose and oxygen reacting to form carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-3: -During cellular respiration, a glucose molecule is gradually broken down into carbon dioxide and water. Along the way, some ATP is produced directly in the reactions that transform glucose. Much more ATP, however, is produced later in a process called oxidative phosphorylation.
