drag the circle to the correct response.
cellular respiration takes place in the:
nucleus
mitochondria
lysosome
chloroplast
Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose and oxygen into energy (ATP). Mitochondria are known as the "powerhouses" of the cell because they are the main site where this energy - producing process occurs. The nucleus is mainly involved in storing genetic information. Lysosomes are responsible for breaking down waste materials. Chloroplasts are involved in photosynthesis (in plant cells), not cellular respiration.
