Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In which part of the cell does respiration occur?
A
vacuole
B
mitochondria
C
cell wall
D
chloroplast
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -In the mitochondria, cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondrial matrix through the Krebs cycle to form ATP, FADH2 and NADH. The formed FADH2 and NADH then go into the inner mitochondrial membrane where they are involved in the electron transport chain to form more ATP molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ribosomes are essential for protein synthesis, but they are present in mitochondria and plastids, the sites of respiration and photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Reason: Aerobic respiration takes place in mitochondria, whereas anaerobic respiration occurs in the cytoplasm.
