Cellular respiration takes place in mitochondria and chloroplasts.
Cellular respiration takes place in mitochondria and chloroplasts.
Cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm and the Golgi apparatus.
Cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm and the Golgi apparatus.
Cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm and mitochondria.
Cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm and mitochondria.
Cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm and the nucleus.
Cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm and mitochondria.
The statement "Cellular respiration takes place in the cytoplasm and mitochondria" is true.
To determine which statement is true, we need to understand where cellular respiration takes place. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert nutrients into energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
Cellular respiration primarily occurs in the mitochondria. The mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of the cell because they produce ATP through a series of chemical reactions. Therefore, any statement mentioning cellular respiration taking place in the mitochondria is correct.
The correct statement in the given options is: "Cellular respiration takes place in mitochondria and chloroplasts."
However, it is important to note that cellular respiration does not occur in chloroplasts. Chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis, a process that occurs in plants and some algae, converting sunlight into energy, not cellular respiration.
Therefore, it is necessary to critically evaluate each option to identify the correct answer based on factual knowledge and understanding of cellular processes.
