Question

where does the process of aerobic respiration takes place in the cell

Answer 1

The process of aerobic respiration takes place in the cell in mitochondria .

Answer 2

Answer:

Main steps in aerobic respiration are as follows

• Glycolysis: Occurs in the cytoplasm(cytosol) where glucose is broken down to pyruvic acid.

• Oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvic acid to acetyl coenzyme-A: Takes place inside the mitochondrial matrix.

• TCA or Krebs cycle takes place in Mitochondrial matrix where pyruvic acid is oxidized to transform the energy contained in these molecules into ATP.

• Electron transport chain occurs in mitochondrial membrane involves ATP synthase complex.
