Question
what is the site of cellular respiration?
mitochondria
chloroplast
cytoplasm
golgi body
Cellular respiration is a process that occurs in cells to produce energy. Mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of the cell and are the main site for aerobic cellular respiration. Chloroplasts are involved in photosynthesis. Cytoplasm is where some initial steps of cellular respiration (like glycolysis) occur but the major part (Krebs cycle and electron transport chain) happens in mitochondria. Golgi body is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids.
