Cellular respiration ultimately creates ATP, which is a a form of energy that can be used and stored. Where does the process of cellular respiration take place?

Question

In the mitochondria

In glycolysis

In plants and not animals

In the Krebs cycle

Answer 1

The process of cellular respiration takes place predominantly in the mitochondria of cells. Glycolysis, which is the breakdown of glucose into pyruvate, occurs in the cytoplasm of cells. The Krebs cycle, which is the process that breaks down pyruvate into carbon dioxide and produces energy in the form of ATP, takes place in the mitochondrial matrix.
