Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The site of aerobic respiration in eukaryotic cells is ____
A
Peroxisome
B
Plastid
C
Mitochondria
D
Cilia
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Process of aerobic cellular respiration occurs in eukaryotic cells: Mitochondria is where aerobic respiration takes place. Glycolysis, Krebs’s cycle, and the electron transport chain are the stages of aerobic respiration that occur. Except for red blood cells, it is a cell organelle found in all cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Anaerobic respiration (both glycolysis and fermentation) takes place in the fluid portion of the cytoplasm whereas the bulk of the energy yield of aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria. So, the correct answer is “Cytoplasm."
