Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where does cellular respiration take place?
A
mitochondria
B
chloroplast
C
nucleus
D
Golgi complex
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cellular respiration takes place in both the cytosol and mitochondria of cells. Glycolysis takes place in the cytosol, whereas pyruvate oxidation, the Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation occur in the mitochondrion.

Detailed explanation-2: -The mitochondrion is known for providing the cell with energy because most of cellular respiration occurs within its membranes. Cellular respiration converts glucose into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the energy currency of cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitochondria have an important role in cellular respiration through the production of ATP, using chemical energy found in glucose and other nutrients.

Detailed explanation-4: -Reason: Aerobic respiration takes place in mitochondria, whereas anaerobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm.
