Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
where cellular respiration takes place giving cells much needed energy
A
chloroplasts
B
mitochondria
C
nucleus
D
endoplasmic reticulum
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In eukaryotic cells (that is, any cells or organisms that possess a clearly defined nucleus and membrane-bound organelles) the enzymes that catalyze the individual steps involved in respiration and energy conservation are located in highly organized rod-shaped compartments called mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm and mitochondria of each cell of the body. Glycolysis occurs inside the cytoplasm, while the TCA cycle occurs inside the matrix of the mitochondria.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Most of the ATP energy obtained from cellular respiration is produced in the third and final stage, the electron transport chain. In the electron transport chain, electrons are passed from one acceptor to the next, in a series of redox reactions.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitochondria produce energy through the process of cellular respiration. The mitochondria take food molecules in the form of carbohydrates and combine them with oxygen to produce the ATP.
