Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Aerobic cellular respiration occurs here
A
Chloroplast
B
Mitochondria
C
Both
D
None of the above
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. It is the matrix of the mitochondria is where the ETC and Kreb cycles occur.

Detailed explanation-2: -Aerobic respiration occurs in the mitochondria. Cells with high energy demands such as muscle cells will have larger numbers of mitochondria so that they can produce more energy (ATP) by aerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration actually involves a series of chemical reaction.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are mainly two phases of respiration-glycolysis and Kreb’s cycle. Glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm of a cell and Kreb’s cycle occurs in the mitochondria of a cell.
